Web development is hard, very hard – and it’s getting harder. But there is hope, a radically different approach called agile.
If you build websites for a living, you know the pressure. Drupal sites can be complex beasts with thousands of moving parts. Clients have high demands – changing demands. Budgets have never been tighter. If you are going to keep the sites you manage ahead of the competition, you have to innovate – continually. And everything has to be done at the breakneck speed of web time.
The results: the average software project is 45% over budget, delayed by 63% and missing 1/3 of the promised functionality.
Failure has become the norm – but there is a better way.
Agile is a radically different processes for improving development efficiency, minimizing risk and enhancing innovation. In the ten short years since the Agile Manifesto was penned it has taken over traditional software and game development. The world’s web leaders such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Twitter and Saleforce.com have embraced agile methodologies. Many top Drupal shops have also made the leap.
Come learn what all the buzz is about.

Interesting figures. I believe them. But what is their source?

It is from the 2009 Standish Group's Chaos Report. Here is a good quick summary.

Interesting.
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I'm very interested in the topic but the timediff (2:30am Australia/Melbourne) may make it unfeasible for me.

Wonderful Presentation!
I enjoyed this presentation as it kept me engaged with a relaxed presenter (and friends). The information on the subject of client agreements was especially relevant and something I need to learn more about. How to get a project in such a way as to avoid headaches 3 mos down the road. Nothing is "easy". I don't have clients and actually let one prospect go (on the phone) so to give my attention to your meeting. Drupal sites in due course (wow, I'm brainstorming today). Thanks!

We'll soon be replacing with an edited version w/ consistent screen size and other improvements. That said, the unfiltered version is definitely worth watching.
Thanks to Tom for doing it!!
