Why are projects so challenging? |
Well, it’s mostly because projects are unique and when we try something new, the results can be unexpected! Project failure is most commonly considered in terms of cost escalation, schedule slippage or a failure to deliver the expected benefits. These are the outcomes. The reasons projects fail can be many but it’s generally when experience, methodology and innovation are not applied end-to-end, from project inception to completion.
The top reasons for IT project failure include:
- Poor management support
- Inadequate requirements
- Lack of basic project management control
- Communication breakdown
- Inadequate testing
- Poor planning and financial management
- Failure to manage supplier and contract relationships
- Lack of attention to risks and issues
