Improving Your Project
Management
Enov8 Incorporated (416) 409-2975
What is a Project?
 A Project is any business activity that is not a
normally recurring event.
 Projects may be for internal “clients” or external
clients
 All projects have a bottom line impact
 Some projects may be re-done for similar purposes
but with different outcomes. i.e. systems
development projects.
Enov8 Incorporated (416) 409-2975
Why DO Project Fail?
 Projects fail because:
 Poor Planning
 Lack of understanding of the goal
 Set up to fail by lack of knowledge by management
 Lack of project management knowledge and/or ability by
project managers and/or staff
 Failure to use common sense
Enov8 Incorporated (416) 409-2975
How Do I Ensure Project Success?
 Use proper project planning and not just a Gantt
Chart.
 A Gantt Chart is NOT a project plan
 A project plan provides detail about what must be done
 A project plan is signed off!
 Make sure everyone understands the goals of the
project in the same way.
Enov8 Incorporated (416) 409-2975
