Project Disasters

How to Predict Them, Prevent Them, or Pull the Plug on Them

Despite significant progress over the last decade, project success rates are still dismally poor. Only about a quarter of projects are completed successfully. The rest are canceled completely or are finished substantially late, over-budget, or missing major funcationality.

When used well, traditional IT project management approaches provide excellent information about what happened, but they're lousy at predicting the future.

In this presentation, Paul Glen will identify the five leading indicators of project success and show you how to use them to predict the future, prevent problems and emerge a hero in both camps with technologists and business executives alike.

"Paul Glen's insights and experience provide the keys to unlocking the potential [of geeks]."

? Warren Bennis, co-author Geeks and Geezers
