Let's figure out why your project is failing.
Answer these simple questions to see where your project pitfalls lie.
Over 30% of projects fail due to lack of planning.
A project charter is a great way to begin a project. By creating a project charter, you identify the project, goals, scope, cost schedule as well as how you measure success and what is considered a finished project.
Did your project team set clear goals and objectives to work on?
(Required)
Yes
No
Deliver value to your stakeholders
Marking tasks as complete can often feel like you are moving the project forward, but if you are not delivering real value at the end of each project cycle, you are likely not meeting the expectations of your stakeholders.
Are you having regular review cycles to make sure you're delivering value to your stakeholders?
(Required)
Yes
No
If yes, how often are those cycles?
(i.e. every 2 weeks, 3 months, etc)
Resources refer to both person-power as well as money and materials. Resource planning and management is essential to project success.
Task management and resource planning tools prevent you from overworking or under-utilizing human resources while financial planning makes sure you're staying on budget. Failure to track any of these resources or irregular tracking leads to the project manager not noticing the project is off course until it is too late.
Does your project manager use tools to track both person hours and financial resources?
(Required)
Yes
No
Executive support is key
There is often a gap between project teams and executive management even when management is named as the sponsor of a project. The sponsor must be aware of the project and agree with the project charter. This empowers the project manager through all stages of the project.
Have you identified your project sponsors and are they involved?
(Required)
Yes
No
A third of projects fail due to poor or lacking communication.
Teams that experience delays or lack of communication are more likely to also experience trust and transparency issues. Poor communication can be the downfall of any project leading to poor collaboration, loss of productivity and added stress to employees, customers, etc.
Does your project manager use an effective communication strategy?
(Required)
Yes
No
Experience counts
Many companies have a relaxed view of the importance of project management and the role falls to anyone on the team. This can lead to unrealistic goals and objectives as well as missed monitoring and controls.
Is your project manager a trained PMP?
(Required)
Yes
No
If you answered "no" to any of these questions, then your project is at risk of failure.
I highly recommend you schedule a free consult so I can help you reduce your risk of failure. That could be training, software recommendations, ongoing consultations or more!
