Chokey the Chimp was happy we weren't seeing any CFs in May, but I knew something would come along, and I might have guessed EMA would oblige. I might also have guessed it would be CMDB-related.


For once this Crap Factoid isn't based on what passes for "research" amongst analysts like EMA. It started as a prediction:
EMA predicts that over 50% of all current CMDB implementations will fail because of inadequate planning.

but by the time the EMA marketing department was done with it, it had built up into a category 1 Crap Factoid

Fifty percent of all CMDB projects fail due to inadequate planning.

Watch this one blow across the Itilsphere. All sightings welcomed.

Only Fifty Percent

Submitted by buraddo on Tue, 2008-06-03 14:15.

I am shocked at the conservative nature of the statement. 50% is a little bit of marketing fence sitting. Nowhere near enough hype to be impactful. Surely "90% of all CMDB projects fail" - Brad Vaughan (please make sure you reference me in the quote :)
