The Project Managers Dilemma

In reality, most projects can have no more than TWO of these!

LOW COST

FAST

Planning and communication are essential!

“Planning is an unnatural process. It is much nicer to just get on with the job: failure then comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceded by a period of worry and doubt.” Sir John Harvey-Jones

Technology projects usually fail because:

32% - inadequate project management & control

20% - lack of communication

17% - failure to define objectives

17% - lack of familiarity with project scope & complexity

14% - incorrect technology & project sizeFigures courtesy of KPMG
