The project failure statistics available on the internet primarily deal with Information Technology type projects, this particular industry tend to be more vigilant than others when analysing their successes and failures. A lot of the studies were conducted a number of years ago (mid to late 90’s) with the most recent information being contained in the annual Chaos Report, however, there does not seem to be a great deal of information on other project types. Can anyone explain why this might be, am I misinterpreting the information, or are other industries not as concerned about failure?

I would be interested in any information people might be able to direct me to.
