Onsite Project Governance
An analysis of 13,522 IT projects shows that 15% "failed" and another 51% were considered "challenged"[over budget, completed late and/or missing critical capabilities]. Eighty-two percent (82%) of projects now experience significant schedule slippage and only 52% of required features and functions currently make it into the released product.

Why Projects Fail
Despite significant investments in certification, robust project management tools, and the establishment of PMO’s, organizations are still wasting time and losing money on failing projects. The reasons are myriad, but some common themes emerge.
- Scope creep
- Lack of alignment
- Loss of critical personnel or understaffed teams
- Inadequate communication
- Losing track of objectives and project milestones
- Resistance to change
- Poor process adherence
- Underqualified project leadership
In the end, all are symptoms of poor strategic definition and tactical execution. All occur because there’s a failure to bring the right people, processes, and tools to bear to make the project a success.
