PM theories  Failures persist despite PPM, ITIL, PMI, CMM, and other methodologies  Distortions: poor judgment, politics, silos, and personal agendas  Extreme case: “Successful” process / failed outcome “Processes alone are far from enough to cover the complexity and human aspects of many large projects subject to multiple stakeholders, resource and ethical constraints.” -- British Computer Society (June 2008) © Copyright 2009 Asuret Inc. All rights reserved.
Devil’s Triangle  Interlocking and conflicting agendas:  Customer  Consulting partner (system integrator)  Technology vendor  Schizophrenic software vendors:  Loyalties split between customers and integrators  Wacky system integrators:  Vendor revenue vs. customer success  Confused buyers  Silos and internal conflicts © Copyright 2009 Asuret Inc.
