It is Getting Simple Things Wrong that Lead to Project Failure

Five quick thoughts from a successful project and programme manager as a result of the Solidus paper on Project Health Checks.

• Most projects are sicker than people admit
• People only admit there are problems when there is no other alternative
• Most things that go wrong are the real basics
• Under-communication losing the users' confidence. Often shows when the client or boss is surprised by news from outside the project
• Paralysis by Analysis - people get buried in the detail and the big stuff gets forgotten

So there is more of a need for independent Project Health Checks than most Project Sponsors will believe; until it is too late. Most do not face up to the problem until they have to increase the budget and extend the timetable or reduce scope.
