What Are the Root Causes of Project Problems and Failures?

Before you can plan and manage a successful project, the first step is to understand the root cause of project problems and failures. Virtually all troubled or failed projects can trace their problems back to a lack of:

  1. Feasibility
  2. Ownership
  3. Organization
  4. Definition
  5. Planning
  6. Alignment
  7. Resources
  8. Control (FOOD-PARC)

These root causes manifest themselves into recognizable symptoms that either slow or completely stall the project schedule, drain resources, and destroy the patience, good will, and support of stakeholders. If these root causes are left unchecked, failure is a near certitude.

At F.L. McNamara Consulting, Inc., we teach project managers how to focus all their efforts on minimizing or eliminating these root causes in order to deliver consistently successful projects to your now satisfied - dare we say delighted? - stakeholders.
