Better title

I'd like to move this article stub to Project cancellation - shifting the focus from the abandoned projects themselves to the decision to cancel them and the business conseqences of such decisions.

But I hesitate lest an admin think I'm trying to evade the speedy delete. --Uncle Ed 15:32, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

At least you are honest re the stub tag, I see so many pieces of no-content junk labelled as stubs. I removed the speedy tags, since you changed it. BTW, my experience is that more than 75% of projects are cancelled, nothing more frustrating than working for six months doing quality work, and having something die, due to lack of competent management and planning. --ArmadilloFromHell 15:41, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I VOTE FOR THIS IDEA

The first line is a bit confusing
