Throughout much of Dr. Nicholson's career, he was asked to perform post mortem's on failed projects. In many cases, he was asked to take over the technical team, diagnose the deficiencies on the project, and provide solutions to get the project delivered. Nicholson has a knack for quickly uncovering systemic issues contributing to project failure. Often, these factors are indirectly related to the failure mode that is observed.
From Dr. Nicholson's work, examples of project factors that have contributed to project failure:
- Poor design decisions
- Defective components
- Insufficient integration time allocated to project
- Contract structure not incentivizing the contractor appropriately
- Organizational conflicts such as lack of test independence
- Ineffective chief engineer
- Internal team conflict
- Ineffective technical processes
- Unqualified technical staff
- Poor architecture requiring complex and failure-prone interfaces
- Poor system reliability due to lack of redundancy at critical design points
- Inadequate test coverage leading to quality issues
- Incorrect requirements leading to faulting solution design
