Presentation: Project Failure due to Outputs rather than Outcomes
It’s no secret, despite 50 years of executing projects, the majority of projects fail! Over 65% of projects are over budget, behind schedule or don’t deliver expected benefits. So why do we continue using this failed paradigm? “According to project management guru Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, some 88 million people will be working on projects worth $20 trillion by 2027. Yet, Nieto-Rodriguez concedes that “only 35% of the projects undertaken worldwide are successful—which means we’re wasting an extravagant amount of time, money, and opportunity.” How Management Mediocrity Is Celebrated As Success, Steve Denning.
Project Management has prescribed a command & control approach shielding sponsors & Senior Manager from decision making information. Agile has evangelised a servant leader philosophy which has negatively isolated some disciplines. These movements have missed the key pathway to success, requirements & tracing. These two business analysis tools are the only items that connect strategy to operations.
I’ll discuss how effective business analysis, and outcome-based techniques can help organisations move away from underperforming initiatives and deliver desired outcomes.
Also, I’ll discuss the need for all organisations and Business Analysts to be active across the product lifecycle from strategy to operations.
