10 Hidden Reasons Why Projects Fail – How to Spot them and How to Solve Them! (Previously Recorded Webinar)

One disheartening aspect of the role of the Project Manager, which virtually no one seems to be able to overcome, is project failure.

Senior IT and business leaders have grown weary of the project failure epidemic, and are now looking to individual Projects Managers (PM)s and the Project Management Office (PMO) to do something about it. This previously recorded webinar features essential advice on how you can.

Some reasons for project failure are easy to name, but this webinar reveals the 10 hidden causes of project failure that lie just under the radar of most Project Managers. Hidden problems that continue to sabotage project teams day after day.

Here’s a sneak peek of the 10 hidden reasons revealed in the webinar:

• Hidden Reason #3: Requirements errors actually getting approved and slipping into development unnoticed
• Hidden Reason #6: Your team members being “fuzzy” on the details of your project (even though you’ve likely never heard them admit it)
• Hidden Reason #10: Expecting agile to ‘cure’ the problem

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to spot these 10 hidden reasons, and you’ll also discover effective, proven solutions for overcoming each one. Take this opportunity to see the cause of project failure in a whole new light, so you can be the one who finally gets the project failure epidemic under control at your organization.

This webinar is presented by Tony Higgins from Blueprint Software Systems, a 27-year software industry veteran, who has spent much of the past decade focused on developing software requirements solutions that support Business Analysts, Projects Managers and PMOs in today’s enterprise.
