Crap Factoid alert: Fifty percent of all CMDB projects fail due to inadequate planning.

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

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 :)
