Simplifying IT Projects:
From Vision to Results

Moving to the cloud promises enormous benefits—from increased flexibility and improved scalability to potential cost savings. However, as many companies adopt cloud solutions, a crucial question arises: Do you truly keep a detailed eye on your cloud costs? Do you really understand which factors drive your expenses upward? And how well informed is senior management about these dynamics? Moreover, it’s worth considering whether, in some cases, a self-hosted, in-house infrastructure (an "on-premises solution") might have been just as effective—and even more cost-efficient.

Many IT projects fail due to poor planning, unclear requirements, and rigid processes. The CHAOS Report shows only 31% succeed, often due to unrealistic expectations, lack of technical expertise, and misaligned budgets. This article examines key failure points: premature tech choices, unclear roles, weak stakeholder involvement, and internal politics. Successful projects—like NASA’s Mars Rover and Netflix’s cloud migration—show that iterative, flexible development works. The lesson? Ditch rigid planning, test small features, and involve developers early. To succeed, companies must embrace agility, shorter budget cycles, and continuous learning—not just follow a process. Are we truly adapting, or just going through the motions?

Reactive architecture in Angular leverages NgRx for state management and RxJS for event-driven workflows, ensuring a scalable, maintainable, and high-performance frontend. By following a unidirectional data flow, it eliminates unpredictable state changes and improves efficiency. This architecture consists of three layers: the domain layer for business logic, the feature layer for smart components, and the UI layer for presentation. Optimized state management with selectors, effects, and OnPush change detection reduces unnecessary re-renders and boosts performance. Companies like Netflix and Google use similar principles for real-time applications. Adopting Angular Reactive Architecture helps teams build future-proof applications with clear separation of concerns and efficient state handling.
