The perception that IT projects are difficult and prone to failure is a real concern when considering whether to approve a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=manufacturingtech.wordpress.com&amp;blog=16248117&amp;post=96&amp;subd=manufacturingtech&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
