The Top 3 Culprits

  • Lack of User Buy-in: If your team feels the software was forced on them, they won't use it correctly.
  • Scope Creep: Trying to do everything at once. Start with a Minimum Viable Product and grow.
  • Bad Data: Migration is the time to clean house. Importing "junk" data will only slow you down.
