Every fourth web project does not fit into the budget allocated to it, and in almost every third case, developers cannot finish the work by the deadline. Such gloomy statistics revealed a
new study conducted by New Bamboo, which is developing software on Ruby on Rails. About 100 IT managers and company directors participated in the survey.
The main reason for this disorder is that too many parties are involved in the project and want to influence it. And this is despite the fact that about half of the web projects are created by the company's own IT-department and only 28% is outsourced.

It turns out that even after all the approvals, possible additional funding and extension of the terms of 21% the project still does not meet the requirements of the customer. Sad figures are saved not only for large but also for very small projects. The situation is aggravated if the customer demands to complicate the project and add modern modern technologies to it: social networks, e-commerce applications, Web 2.0 features.
