Stop Rebuilding Legacy from Scratch: 65–79% Fail. Modernize in Slices
Legacy is rarely broken; it's misaligned and business-critical, which is exactly why a big-bang relaunch is the riskiest path. Up to 79% of modernization projects fail or get cancelled, often because hidden dependencies surface too late. The play: replace workflows in small slices, keep users in the loop, and deliver value early. Slow and strategic beats dramatic and catastrophic.
