Some industries (aviation and engineering, for example) make great use of failure analysis. It's far more rare in other environs where it is politic to declare every project a glowing success, no matter what. We all know better, but it isn't often you get thoughtful reflection on what went wrong and why. For an informative look at "not getting it right" I can recommend Ari Paparo's post: http://www.aripaparo.com/archive/001456.html
