Excerpt from The Elusive Silver Lining: How We Fail to Learn From Failure in Software Development
As modern organizations struggle with increasing complexity and difficult challenges, we argue that every experience win, lose, or draw is a valuable organizational asset that must be fully exploited. First, this requires an organization willing to view failures as opportunities to learn something rather than as embarrassing moments to be quickly forgotten. Second, and often missing, organizations need a formal postmortem diagnostic tool that can reliably discern what worked on a project and what did not. Without such a tool, it is possible that the wrong lessons will be learned.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the perennial problem of project failures and missed learning opportunities by examining underachieving software development projects. The author posits that while project failures are frequent, so too is the failure to draw lessons from these setbacks, thereby impeding the advancement of project management. The book proposes a system dynamics tool to diagnose postmortem project performance in order to pinpoint the root causes of failures and to identify opportunities for improvement. This tool is then utilized in a case study of a NASA software project, uncovering valuable insights into the complex interactions, dynamic nature, and sometimes counterintuitive behaviors that characterize software project environments. Ultimately, the book emphasizes the importance of effective postmortem analysis for organizational learning and improvement, arguing that organizations that can master this process will be better equipped to avoid repeating past mistakes and to achieve greater success in the future.
