Chances are your biggest problem isn't technical at all

Right now someone's running a failing project to build a payroll system. Probably more than one someone.

Why? Was it because they chose Ruby over Java, or Python over Smalltalk? Or because they decided to use Postgres rather than Oracle? Or did they choose windows when they should have chosen Linux? We've all seen the technology take the fall for failed projects. But what are the chances that the problem was really so difficult to solve that Java wasn't up the the task?

Most projects are built by people, and those people are the foundation for success and failure.
