As managers, we have experienced project failure in some shape or form. It can come from working on a project you know should have not have passed through the governance body and now you have no choice but to lead, or it can be a project that has incredible potential but no one is on board.

Below is a list of signs/causes of project failure…
- Project Manager is worried about losing their job or upsetting the leadership team.
- Client expectations are not realistic and cannot be met.
- Client/Leadership keeps changing the project design.
- Wrong resources assigned to the project/tasks.
- Poor or Lack of Communication with the client, stakeholders, etc.
- Lack of involvement from stakeholders.
- Poor planning – planning is to rigid and doesn’t give space to handle any issues/risks. Planning is solely done by project managers.
- Absence of Risk Management
- Management works to make senior management/director/VP’s happy.
- Project is based on CXO’s dream with no clear vision or business value.
