What Lessons Did You Learn From Your Last Project That Failed?

by Utpal Vaishnav on September 9, 2009

There are many examples of failed projects. It doesn’t matter whether you are given the liberty to define what ‘Fail’ means or not!

Here’s something to think about:

Three Deadly Scenes:

  1. Over 70% of software projects fail.
  2. Project Closure Meetings (where lessons learned are documented) never happen.
  3. You know this but you don’t do anything specific about it.

Three Decisive Questions:

  1. In your organization Project Closure Meetings happen?
  2. Do you have a robust Lesson Learned Process in place?
  3. Do you want to repeat the same mistakes… over and over again?

You’re a Dependable Project Manager. Let your organization know that you are just not the bystander; Act Now.
