Project Management Fundamentals: Run projects effectively

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?
