Description

Did you know only 2.5% of companies successfully complete 100% of their projects?

You read that right … only 2.5%!

And if that wasn’t bad enough, consider this:

  • The average cost overrun of any given project is 27%
  • 57% of projects fail due to breakdowns in communication
  • 39% of projects fail due to lack of planning, resources, and activities
  • 51% of organizations have no project management training program in place
  • Fewer than one-third of projects are successfully completed in a given year

Alarming statistics, wouldn’t you agree?

Hard to believe this could be the case when a staggering 97% of organizations believe project management is critical to business success.

So the question then becomes …

Are you doing everything in your power to successfully manage your projects?

Because here’s the rub …

If you’re not managing your projects correctly, you’re not only setting yourself up for failure, you’re also wasting precious time, money, and resources doing things ineffectively … and likely damaging your company in the process.

So how exactly can you manage projects effectively and efficiently to make sure they come out successful each and every time?
