Reasons Why Projects Fails?
What makes a project fail? Consider this… n KPMG study of 300 large companies n n 65% reported projects: n Grossly over budget n Far behind in schedule n Technology not performing Over 50% of executives believed this to be “normal” n Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail Can you afford the cost of failed projects?
What makes a project fail? Consider this… Standish Group International's recent survey of 175, 000 IT projects reports: n n 88% of projects run over schedule, over budget or both Average cost overrun: 89% of original estimate Average time overrun: 222% of original estimate For every 100 project 94 restarts
What Make a Project Fail? Just Do It! Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail
Success vs. Failure Bottom Line: Success = Met Expectations Failure = Unmet Expectations

Planning Objectives Where do you start? How do you identify and schedule parts of the plan? How do you identify and allocate the required resources?
Typical Complaints About Planning: n n I Do Not Have Time to Plan You Know Management Wants Results Not Plans I Do Not Know Where to Begin I Know the Theory, But Around Here I Never Get A Chance to Exercise it
“Typical” Project Phases 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Unwarranted enthusiasm Uncritical acceptance Growing concern Unmitigated disaster Search for the guilty Punish the innocent Promote the uninvolved Arthur D. Little
Consequences for the Project Manager
Remember The ROI n For every moment you spend planning, you will save five moments during implementation Crawford Gernwald
Planning Objectives Where do you start? How do you identify and schedule parts of the plan? How do you identify and allocate the required resources?
Planning Steps 1. 2. 3. 4. Review Project Scope Determine dominating factors Define and quantify risks Develop the WBS Determine phases/activities Determine the project’s tasks Determine the milestones 5. 6. 7. 8. Determine the task duration Sequence the activities for efficiency and logical connections Identify the critical path List the project's resources
Planning Steps Continued 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Assign resources to tasks Optimize the plan Produce reports Review the feasibility of the project Document assumptions & issues Obtain approval of the plan Freeze the plan
