IT technologies now spread into all spheres of our life, from everyday work to public finances.

Often we have distortion of reality in the management of IT projects, which can lead to failures. Here we will try to name some common mistakes about IT startups which people usually make when beginning to invest their time and money.

1. Too shallow classification. The first mistake comes from the name or definition of the project in question itself: often any project with the participation of the IT developers gets the status of IT project.

For example, if one needs to create a portal about the management of finance or you develop service on the basis of open data, with a high probability your team will be called IT specialists, and the project will be accounted as an information technologies project.

Thus the wrong name of the ship often brings it into shallow water and doesn't allow to make a sail to the big open ocean of opportunities. Because in a narrow sense the IT project means accurately planned and documented technical work.

Ask yourself: whether the real the purpose of your project is limited to develop the software, build the site, and run it on the selected hardware? Or these tasks are important and statutory, but are parts of something bigger?

For example, the goal is not only to create the software, but thanks to given software to reduce the corruption levels in your city or to cut down transport expenses.

It is very important to identify yourself correctly on a stage of initiation of the project.
