A highly skilled and experienced project manager knows how
to work with all stakeholders and participants to avoid project
failures.

Project management education and mentoring programs are
essential and, along with experience managing projects, will
greatly increase the project manager's ability to avoid project
failures.
Using a structured systems development methodology is one of the critical
success factors in a systems development project.

Phase exits and quality control points help to ensure a successful project.
Many projects fail or at least experience difficulties due to a lack of formal
communications.

For most project efforts, sending project status emails to a project
distribution list with various file attachments, simply does not work. Formal
communications need not be time consuming or overly bureaucratic; rather
planned, agreed to, and executed as opposed to ad hoc or periodic best
efforts.
Often times, unrealistic expectations are set to please a customer, to meet a
calendar deadline, or to fall within a certain budget amount.

Avoid unrealistic expectations by letting the project plan set quality, cost, and
time expectations, rather than early commentary and opinion.
Resist the temptation to start the project too early before it has been properly
initiated. Don't be rushed into starting the work on the assumption that it will
result in an earlier delivery. The reality is that poor initiation extends projects by
causing rework, errors and omissions. Just say no when pushed and never start
too early.
Not having the right amount of resource or having the right amount with
the wrong skill mix can be a cause of project failure. Insist that
management provide appropriate resources either from internal staff or if
necessary by hiring some resources on a contract basis.
Don't operate in a vacuum. Project team members are often multi-tasked and
may be pulled in many different directions. Ignoring these other projects and
priorities will engender resentment and inaction for the team members with
multiple duties.
Everyone knows the triple constraints (Quality, Time, and Cost), but so
often the management of the project has a myopic focus on budget and
schedule.

Quality is often left out of the picture. Seek to manage and measure quality.
Project Quality Management not only will prevent rework, but enable the
ROI of the project to be realized, typically a much more significant dollar
amount than the project cost.
Completed projects documentation, and project status dashboarding can
play a key role in shortening project life cycle, reducing costs, and ensuring
quality objectives are met.

All organizations have a great deal of content and knowledge.
Collaboration technology can help to make content and knowledge,
especially project management related content and knowledge, accessible,
usable, and online to the task at hand.
PPM dashboarding can be an effective way to communicate the status of
top projects and the direction that they are trending.

In addition to cost and time, it can be very helpful and actionable to
dashboard the top projects status for quality, risk, as well as how well the
project aligns to strategic objectives.

10 tips to avoid a project failure

  • 1.
  • 2. A highly skilled and experienced project manager knows how to work with all stakeholders and participants to avoid project failures. Project management education and mentoring programs are essential and, along with experience managing projects, will greatly increase the project manager's ability to avoid project failures.
  • 3. Using a structured systems development methodology is one of the critical success factors in a systems development project. Phase exits and quality control points help to ensure a successful project.
  • 4. Many projects fail or at least experience difficulties due to a lack of formal communications. For most project efforts, sending project status emails to a project distribution list with various file attachments, simply does not work. Formal communications need not be time consuming or overly bureaucratic; rather planned, agreed to, and executed as opposed to ad hoc or periodic best efforts.
  • 5. Often times, unrealistic expectations are set to please a customer, to meet a calendar deadline, or to fall within a certain budget amount. Avoid unrealistic expectations by letting the project plan set quality, cost, and time expectations, rather than early commentary and opinion.
  • 6. Resist the temptation to start the project too early before it has been properly initiated. Don't be rushed into starting the work on the assumption that it will result in an earlier delivery. The reality is that poor initiation extends projects by causing rework, errors and omissions. Just say no when pushed and never start too early.
  • 7. Not having the right amount of resource or having the right amount with the wrong skill mix can be a cause of project failure. Insist that management provide appropriate resources either from internal staff or if necessary by hiring some resources on a contract basis.
