  Project Management Research Summary

Is your organization losing money on failed projects?

Is your staff being underutilized?

Are you experiencing costly project overruns?

If so, then don’t feel alone. For years, business analysts have been publishing reports that at least 70% of all technology-related projects are likely to be challenged or impaired, and 20%-30% of these will fail outright. Of those that survive, the average cost overrun will exceed 150%, schedule overruns 175%, and the deviation from original specifications will be at least 30%. These are conservative estimates that have been well documented across multiple industries. In 2002 according to Microsoft:

Nearly 75% of all e-commerce projects did not meet defined objectives
The Gartner Group

10% of time was lost to unauthorized activities
William Conway's "The Way we Work"

70% of project deadlines were missed
META Group

Staff was underutilized by 15%IDC's Professional Services Automation Return on Investment
