Software management  

Posted by Jeppesen in



For some reason 80 % of all software projects should have ended before they started.

For some reason 80 % of all PM's seem to take the same route as in the picture above - why?
I suppose it is the paradox in project organisation that the success criteria of the PM is to get from A to B according to the Business Case - and 80 % of the PM's do not seem be in a matrix organisation that ensure that only 20% of the projects are funded.

Am I wrong or do you have a better reason?

Because in the day they start, 80% of projects details and complexity is not known (or change along time)!!!

Putting a PM into the game is assuming the PM is responsible for the outcome of a project. It is far from real: How many projects have you seen that everything is planned and the project just won't go along?

PM's can sometime be involved in issues of communication (or lack of it) but that most of times happens due to the project uncertainity that is not known at a specific time.
