Project Resourcing

The #1 Determinant of Project Success or Failure

Why do so many Enterprise Class Software Projects fail or deliver sub-optimal solutions?

There are many common and inter-related reasons why software implementation projects fail or end in sub-optimal solution delivery . Many of these can be itemized or summarized into one of five key categories:

1) Software Selection

2) Implementation Methodology

3) Project Resourcing

4) Issue Management

5) Knowledge Transfer/Training

Within these categories, Project Resourcing, frequently represents the single most critical determinant of whether a project will succeed or fail.

More specifically, how projects are staffed, utilizing both internal and external resources, across all phases and stages of a project, is the primary differentiator between projects that will succeed and projects that fail or deliver sub-optimal solutions.

Projects staffed without internal and external Subject Matter Experts (SME's) and SME Knowledge, Experience and Expertise are destined for failure.
