Max Wideman got permission to reprint Jim Highsmith's article The Chaos Report - Reality Challenged.

Jim takes on the Chaos report for their definitions of success and failure. This is something that has bothered me for years. I've been on several "failed" projects over the years that were wildly successful in the eyes of the business and are still running to this day.

I for one am going to take it upon myself to challenge anyone who uses the Chaos report as a basis for any kind of action.
