Project Management Institute, Pulse of the Profession
56% of projects fail due to poor communication and coordination
The Project Management Institute (PMI) reported in the Pulse of the Profession that communication is the top reason for project failure. Many times, project managers lack the resources to control communication and data flow as projects enter the execution phase.
As the project matures the amount of data, documents, reports, and communication points creep without control leading to project failure.
Why projects fail :
- Poor communication
- Lack of resources
- Scope creep
- Poor change management
- Lack of proper tools & methodology
