Projects can be considered successful at their most fundamental level if the scope, schedule, and budget are met. However, it is estimated that anywhere between 50-70% projects are considered failures based on that unmet expectations and potentially unintended consequences from the implemented changes. This presentation will discuss some of the typical failure points to watch for during your project, how to use risk management to help mitigate the risks around some of the most common failure points, and a discussion of some case studies and lessons learned to help you learn from these projects and help you to be better prepared for your future projects.
