I liked the "Top 10 Signs Your Software Project Is Doomed"

I'd add a few more... these mainly relate to the isolation of a development team from the end users and/or purpose of the software application.

* End users communicate only with Business Analysts, never with developers.

* Developers become aware of end user needs only through functional or technical specifications written by business analysts.

* Architects who do not write code have complete authority to dictate technology choices to developers

* Developers are unable to describe what the software does from a user's point of view.

* Developers are unable to explain why they are using a particular technology, other than that it was chosen as a standard for the project.
