Description
Did you know only 2.5% of companies successfully complete 100% of their projects?
You read that right … only 2.5%!
And if that wasn’t bad enough, consider this:
- The average cost overrun of any given project is 27%
- 57% of projects fail due to breakdowns in communication
- 39% of projects fail due to lack of planning, resources, and activities
- 51% of organizations have no project management training program in place
- Fewer than one-third of projects are successfully completed in a given year
Alarming statistics, wouldn’t you agree?
Hard to believe this could be the case when a staggering 97% of organizations believe project management is critical to business success.
So the question then becomes …
Are you doing everything in your power to successfully manage your projects?
Because here’s the rub …
If you’re not managing your projects correctly, you’re not only setting yourself up for failure, you’re also wasting precious time, money, and resources doing things ineffectively … and likely damaging your company in the process.
So how exactly can you manage projects effectively and efficiently to make sure they come out successful each and every time?
