The goal of this presentation it to summarize practical experience and theoretical knowledge to outline 10 main reasons for the projects failure and common mistakes you can avoid on your projects to make them succeed. I hope you will find good tips and a valuable practical advice while reviewing it.
In today's fast-paced business environment, successful project management has its place on the organizational hall-of-fame.
All major corporations have recognized that the future of their corporate success lies in their employees' abilities to effectively manage overlapping, complex projects.
An Introduction to Project Management Krishna Kant
I have tried to present here a brief introduction of project management for the people who wish to get the flavor of project management and what it takes to be a successful project manager.
I have used these slides for the various project management sessions that I have conducted in different forums. And I hope this will help you to understand or re-cap your project management principles.
APM event held on 8 March 2018, sponsored by the SWWE branch.
Guest speaker, Merys Hopkins, first looked at portfolios, which APM define as a grouping of an organisations projects and programmes. The grouping can be by geographical location, capability, customer type, etc, as determined by the organisation’s circumstances. The portfolio should be designed to maximise return on investment, maintain skills in the workforce, and to aid control of costs and benefits.
This presentation emphasizes the concept of project management and its evolution in different phases with the difference between traditional and project management.
PPT with overall coverage of the project evaluation and all the topic of project evaluation and post project evaluation are covered in this ppt.It includes all the topic of project evaluation:-
=>which of the project should be evaluated?
=>cost&timing
=>social analysis
=>environmental analysis
=>progress report
=>final report
and many more topics are covered in this ppt for the brief description of project evaluation and some left out topics are numerical of project evaluation.
Successful projects require both managerial and technical excellence. Many times, projects fail due to multiple managerial issues. This paper describes key issues leading to project failure.
the Project Termination Process and variety of project termination are discussed. The most prominent is to understand that when to terminate project. factors here in the presentation are discussed.
Studies show that many projects either fail outright or fail to meet most of their objectives. There are a myriad of possible reasons why this might be the case. Very often, organizations go looking for a culprit and sometimes blame the project manager or even the very concept of project management itself. Sometimes they decide to “fix” the problem by getting all the project managers certified. Or they decide to standardize on a certain tool. And while certification and standardization are laudable things, they do not necessarily address the central problem or problems. This presentation will discuss the top ten reasons why projects fail and briefly discuss solutions to each problem. We will see how such areas as estimates, scope and “the accidental project manager” contribute to the problem.

Are you making any of these 10 project management mistakesOrangescrum
Most classic project management mistakes that the project managers make when it comes to the more process-related aspect of the job without a solid method for defining and controlling the project’s scope, benefits, deliverables, costs, quality, risks and responsibilities.
A fresh look on projects: An introductory overview of project circle planning...ramsey20
Before venturing in planning and executing a project, one needs to get introduced to project planning and management circle . This will enable the person to be equiped with skills and knowledge that will enable him/her nevigate the complex and challenging journey of project planning and management.
Many organizations invest substantial resources in creating their ow.pdffederaleyecare
Many organizations invest substantial resources in creating their own project methodologies,
which are sets of templates, process maps, and procedures that show the normal flow of a project
from start to finish. Other organizations have no formal project management methods, and it is
difficult for project managers and team members to be certain about what phase the project is in.
If informal project management can get the job done, why do we need fancy methods and
processes and terminology? Have you ever been involved in a project that didn’t follow the
standard cycle of initiating, planning, executing, and closing? Is it ethical to under plan or over
plan a project? Why or why not?
Solution
Q1) Informal project management doesn\'t have a detailed project plan outlining the phases,
resources and budget. It is followed by small companies where the project scale is low. The
phases begin and end in a flow rather than being preplanned. Though informal project
management can get the job done for small scale projects with not much budget involved and
relatively lesser sense of urgency for completion, for a project to be successful in all aspects, a
formal project management methodology needs to be in place. Below are the reasons -
1. Though project exceeds the cost expected and gets delayed to a small extent, it is difficult to
quantify and estimate in informal project management methodology and hence the firm doesn\'t
even know the loss being incurred.
2. Allocating, monitoring and controlling resources becomes difficult in informal methods.
3. Lack of accountability results in not owning any issues that might occur in the project.
Q2) Example of a project that is informal -
Quality circles formed by a group of employees from various departments or functions to
improve overall quality of the product and eliminate deviations from the process.
The project starts with identifying quality issue and random inputs pour in from all the functional
departments that are collected by a moderator who keeps scheduling recurring meetings to
ensure the rootcause of the issue is identified and the alternatives are prepared. The solution then
is identified by testing all the three alternatives at a pilot scale and the best alternative is
implemented.
Q3) Underplanning or overplanning a project is never known in advance and is known while
project is in progress. Individuals never wilfully over or under plan for the project; sometimes it
might happen to over plan if the project manager wants to keep a buffer of time, resources and
budget. Underplanning is purely a deviation from the project and as far as ethics is concerned, it
is not something which is expected though it doesn\'t wilfully happen..

4. Project success factors
1. Meet an agreed budget (Cost)
2. Deliver on time (Time)
3. Meet quality requirements (Quality)
4. Meet the project's objectives/requirements (Scope)
4
5. What projects are considered successful?
Long story short – successful project is the one meeting stakeholder’ expectations
5
6. Reason 1: Insufficient stakeholders management
Common mistakes:
1. Not all the project stakeholders are identified
2. Stakeholders are not analyzed from the perspective of their influence and interest in the
project
3. Failure to view the project through the eyes of the project stakeholders, as the result no
accurate understanding how the project will impact the stakeholders or how they will
react to the project’s results
4. Failure to identify and meet the needs of all stakeholders, allowing one stakeholder
group to dominate the project while completely ignoring the needs of other groups
5. Failure to establish effective communication channels between different stakeholders
6
8. Stakeholders Management
1. Identify Stakeholders – identifying everyone affected by the work or its outcomes
2. Plan Stakeholder Management – deciding how you will engage with the stakeholders
3. Manage Stakeholder Engagement – communicating with stakeholders and ensuring
appropriate stakeholder engagement
4. Control Stakeholder Engagement – monitoring the overall relationships and adjusting
your strategies and plans as needed
8
11. Common mistakes:
1. No time is spent on development of a communication plan
2. No identified and approved escalation boundaries and related rules (when and to whom
to escalate issues)
3. Roles and responsibilities are not identified or are not clearly communicated to all the
stakeholders
4. Priorities of different communication channels are not identified (when to email, to call, to
use Skype, etc.)
5. No records for oral communication (no meeting minutes)
6. National specifics and corporate culture are not taken into account (when to CC
management, whether it is appropriate to CC senior management, whether Manager in
CC is treated as an escalation or you just want to keep other stakeholders informed, etc.)
7. Manager blocks direct effective communication between technical specialists
8. Bad news are glossed over when being presented to customers, managers and
stakeholders
9. Too much meetings, unnecessary people are invited to the meetings
10. Meetings are not effective (no goal set, no agenda, etc.) 11
Common communication mistakes
13. Reason 3: No sufficient project initiation and planning
phases
Common mistakes:
1. No project initiation and/or planning phases at all
2. Working under constant schedule pressure, not spending enough time and efforts to plan
the project
3. Assuming effort estimates can be directly equated to elapsed task durations without any
buffers or room for non-productive time, unforeseen tasks, etc.
4. Planning is done based on 8 h/day team availability for planned tasks
5. Planning is seen as the project manager’s responsibility rather than a team activity
6. Failure to break a large scale master plan into more manageable pieces that can be
delivered incrementally
7. No milestones and deadlines are set
8. Unclear roles and responsibilities led to confusion and gaps
9. Un-prioritized requirements resulting in team focusing energies on lower priority items
instead of high priority work
10.Change requests are handled informally without analysis and management of their
implication to the project plan 13
14. Reason 4: Project constraints are not identified
Common mistakes:
1. Project constraints (Scope, Time, Budget, Quality) are not identified and discussed with
the client
2. Project constraints are not taken into consideration during the project initiation and
planning phases
3. Project constraints matrix is not created and not discussed with the stakeholders
14
16. Reason 5: Poor product requirements
Common mistakes:
1. Product development starts without requirements It happens!
2. Requirements are not Unitary, Complete, Consistent, Current, Verifiable, Unambiguous,
Traceable, Prioritized
3. Requirements are not tested
4. Lack of formality in the scope definition results in different people having different
understanding of what is in and what is out of scope
5. Open ended requirements (such that end with “etc.”)
6. Failure to fully understand the “big picture” - the operational context in which the product
being produced needs to function once the project is over
7. No or lack involvement of those who will eventually use the product during the
requirements development
8. Individual requirements are never checked against the project’s overall objectives to
ensure each requirement supports the project’s objective
9. The project requirements are written based on the assumptions
16
19. Why projects fail according to Gartner research

19
20. Reason 6: Inaccurate estimates
Common mistakes:
1. Failure to not involve those who will actually perform the work to the estimating process
2. Forcing the team to provide estimate without a defined scope
3. Forcing the team to cut the estimate in order to secure a contract or make a project more
attractive
4. Estimation is done based on insufficient information or analysis
5. The assumptions used for estimation preparation are not documented, discussed or
validated
6. Big items are estimated, but because they are less visible, the smaller scale activities are
omitted
7. Estimation is done without analysis of the historical data collected from previous similar
projects or phases of the existing project
20
21. Reason 7: No streamlined software development
process
Common mistakes:
1. No methodology is used (as is or tailored to project specifics)
2. The project plan is published but there is no follow up or tracking to allow issues to be
surfaced and addressed early
3. Believing that although the team is behind schedule, they will catch up later
4. Schedule and budget become the driving force
5. Project is tracked based on large work items rather than smaller increments
6. Failure to monitor team performance on a regular basis
7. Believing that a task reported by a team member as 90% done really is 90% done
8. Believing that because a person was told something once (weeks or months ago), they
will remember what they were asked to do and when they were supposed to do it
9. No recurring review and demonstration of the work done
10. No value increment is added on recurring basis
11. No retrospective of the process and no analysis of its gaps and required improvements
21
22. How often do PMs use a project management methodology on
successful and failed projects?
Source: KPMG Project Management Survey 2013
22
25. Reason 8: No risk management
Common mistakes:
1. Failure to think ahead and to foresee and address potential problems
2. Risk management is seen as an independent activity rather than an integral part of the
planning process and execution process
3. Risk, problems and issues become confused as a result team isn’t really doing risk
management
25
27. Reason 9: Insufficient quality assurance (not to be
mixed up with software testing)
1. No quality assurance activities are planned, only software testing activities are performed
2. No systematic activities are performed to evaluate quality of the development process used to
produce a product
3. Failure to plan into the project appropriate reviews, tests or checkpoints at which quality can be
verified
4. Quality requirements are never discussed, thereby allowing different people to have different
expectations of what is being produced and the quality standards to be achieved
5. Quality is viewed simply in terms of testing rather than a culture of working
6. The team developing the project’s deliverables sees quality as the responsibility of the Quality
Assurance group rather than a shared responsibility
7. Testing in a test environment that is configured differently from the target production, or
operational environment in which the project’s deliverables will be used
8. Testing with a test data only
9. No proactive measures to prevent bugs from occurring in a product being developed, only
reactive measures to address found issues
27
28. Reason 10: Decision making problems
1. Decision makers and areas of responsibility are not identified
2. Key decisions are made by people who lack the subject matter expertise to be making the
decision
3. Expert advice is not requested when making key project decisions
4. Lack of situational awareness results in ineffective decisions being made
5. Failure to bring closure to a critical decision results in delays, unused time, team demotivation
6. Team avoids the difficult decisions because some stakeholders maybe unhappy with the
outcome
7. Team is not involved into the decision making process (when appropriate)
8. Key decisions are made without identifying or considering alternatives
9. Decision fragments are left unanswered (what to be done, how to be done, when to be done,
who are performers, who IS responsible for the outcome, etc.)
10. Failure to establish clear ownership of decisions and responsible people
28
29. 10 reasons why projects fail?
1. Insufficient stakeholders management
2. Inefficient communication
3. No sufficient project initiation and planning phases
4. Project constraints are not identified
5. Poor product requirements
6. Inaccurate estimates
7. No streamlined software development process
8. No risk management
9. Insufficient quality assurance (not to be mixed up with software testing)
10. Decision making problems

30. 10 rules to make your projects succeed!
1. Identify and manage project stakeholders and their expectations
2. Setup effective communication channels and escalation boundaries, run effective
meetings, always keep records
3. Do spend time on the project initiation and planning phases
4. Identify project constraints with stakeholders and document those, always keep them in
mind through the project length
5. Do no start software development with poor product requirements and not defined scope
6. Learn how to improve accuracy of estimates, collect and analyze historical data and
previous experience
7. Follow software development methodology – tailor the existing one or develop you own.
The process should be defined and streamlined to be controlled!
8. Do risk management, foresee problems and address potential problems
9. Software testing is not enough, do quality assurance activities and make quality a
working culture
10. Make decisions fast and smart
30
31. … and a piece of advice
1. Any experience, including failures and mistakes, is your chance to learn and self-develop
2. When you enjoy what you are doing you are way more effective and productive
3. Something interesting and challenging can be found in any assignment if you keep being
positive, open-minded and creative
4. Thinking out of the box helps to find good and new solutions
5. When you are working hard and doing your best, people around respect you and
appreciate what you are doing
6. Positive attitude always help to find the right solution
7. People are over process - respect yourself, your colleagues and clients
