Familiar Challenges?

Lack of project definition

It's often difficult to clearly determine the requirements and components of a project including what needs to be included, who needs to be involved, budget for the project, what dependencies exist, what constraints exist, what are the assumptions, how will success be measured, and what steps are necessary to complete the project.

Project plans are too aggressive

Most schedules are built using 'scheduling tools' like Microsoft Project before the full work breakdown structure has been defined.

Managing scope creep

It is difficult to understand the impact of any change to the project scope. How will this change impact the team, schedule and the final product

Reactive project management

It is difficult to ensure the project manager/team lead stays on top of the project and that the team is completely aligned.

Lack of commitment or alignment

The lack of alignment usually occurs in the project initiation phase. It is difficult to create alignment, gain executive buy-in, and ensure activities are focused on driving the project to success.

Communication failure

Infrequent communications and the inability for everyone to be on the same page can result in the inability to properly address potential problems and issues which can adversely impact project success.
