Inadequate user involvement
- B
Failure of system integration
- C✓ Correct Option
Size of the client company
- D
Poorly defined requirements
Detailed Technical Solution & Explanation
Software engineering research (e.g., the CHAOS Report) demonstrates that software projects succeed or fail based on process and management factors: user involvement, clear requirements, realistic expectations, and proper architecture/integration. The physical size of the client company is an organizational demographic and not an inherent cause of project failure.
Option Analysis:
•
Option A (Inadequate user involvement): A leading cause of software project failure.
•
Option B (Failure of system integration): A major technical source of project failure.
•
Option C (Size of the client company): Correct. Organizational size itself is not a direct cause of project failure.
•
Option D (Poorly defined requirements): A principal driver of software failure.
