An annual report from The Standish Group that examines trends in project success, repeatedly reports worrying statistics. The 2011 edition of the CHAOS report found that 37% of all projects succeeded in that they were delivered on time, within budget, with all required features and functions. 42% of projects were challenged in that they were delivered late, went over budget, and/or were delivered with less than the requested features and functions. The remaining 21% were considered a complete failure due to cancellation prior to delivery or were never used post completion.
The 2011 figures represent a slight improvement since the release of the first CHAOS report in 1994, when project success was reported to be just 16%; but the current statistics can still be described as fairly dismal. In real terms, the cost of project failure to the economy is staggering. It is estimated that the financial burden of project failure in the U.S. alone amounts to over $1 trillion. On a global scale, that figure rises to an estimated yet equally astonishing $6.2 trillion.
Project management is critical to the success of every organization. Project managers face constant pressure to cut costs, implement projects quickly, and deliver high quality. Without thoughtful planning, execution and monitoring of efforts, organizations will lose business to those that effectively manage their projects.
Whether your goal is to learn the basics of project management or to improve your personal productivity or improve your execution skills in delivering task to time, Certification Edge management training will deliver this result.
