A Must lesson for everyone
Humour in Project Management
Ever find yourself in the battle you just can’t
win? I face it everyday, hope I am not the
bad PM
Project Manger Face this reality everyday –
take a look at these alarming points for
failure and most probably you should be
able to avoid it.
A Day in the life of Project Manager
49% say they experience at least one
project failure in a given year
33% of the time, project failure is due to the lack of
involvement of senior Management
Another 33% of the time, project failure is
due to requirement changes
Project Failure Happens Often
58% of projects fail to deliver the benefits as set out in the
business case or approved proposal
31% of projects fail to deliver on time
31% of projects fail to deliver within budget
Only 54% of required features and functions make it to
release
Projects are Prone to Failure in different ways
45% of the delivered features are never used.
The Ultimate value of Delivered Projects is often questionable
Only 2% of organizations achieve target benefits “all the time”
Almost No One has figured out how to achieve consistent success..
