Five Reasons Why Projects Fail ... and how to keep yours from doing so. Most people are familiar with the 34% success rate of projects, as reported in the Standish Group 2003 Chaos Report. Whether the success of your project depends upon juggling hundreds of details, or hundreds of thousands of details, there are two basic ways that projects fail. They either fail completely - delivering nothing of value, or they fail to deliver a significant portion of the benefit that they could have yielded. Under-Deliver There are two basic reasons why projects under-deliver: Limited Objective: "We anticipate growing at 10% per year if you can eliminate the paperwork bottlenecks that are choking our business." Predetermined Solution: "We want you to develop a computerized dispatching system for us." Fail Completely There are three basic reasons why projects fail completely: Lack of Vision: "But we've always done it this way, and so has everyone else." Lack of Commitment: "We're just too busy to get this done." Lack of Resources: "I know you want to win a $30 million contract for the company, but we're too busy to help."
