1 in 3 technology projects fail.

  • 15% of all technology projects fail because of high cost variance.
  • 18% are unsuccessful because they were substantially late.

Why such a dismal success rate? All project managers know this simple fact: Project Success is Difficult. But is it as simple to define what changes are necessary to increase project success?

Topics Covered:

  • Precise management of resources. Who is working on what?
  • Accurate project tracking. How do I get this project back on schedule?
  • Definition of project terms. What does “done” really mean?

During this webinar we will explore five ways to improve your odds of successfully completing projects on time and on budget.
