A recent study by Burton Group found that only 1 in 5 SOA projects actually succeed! So what is it that leads to so many failures?
From our experience the common Pitfalls that lead to these failures are as follows:
Inadequate Involvement from the Business
Lack of regulatory processes
Team's lack of participation and responsibilities
Pre defined Technology Stack
The big bang approach
From our experience we have found that these can be avoided by taking a phased out approach with as many as two to three interations for every phase.
In general our take is:
Ensure Sponsorship
Create reference architecture
Encourage organization wide participation
Identify Service and their granularity
Indentify appropriate consumption patterns
Avoid a big bang approach
