366 ways to screw up projects: ...and how to recover from them
Whether you are a business leader, manager or sponsor of a project, it's not just money, resources and business reputations on the line. Project failure also takes a heavy toll on the people involved, causing anguish, damaging self-confidence and derailing careers. There is no shortage of "how-to" guides that expound project management theory, focusing on standard measures of performance like scope, cost, schedule, risk and quality. What's usually ignored or glossed over is the human factor - the behavioral patterns of stakeholders and participants that threaten project success. Prashant Shah was curious about why projects were failing in the real world despite the abundance of textbooks and methodologies. This led to a ten year deep dive into his experience managing projects large and small, across multiple sectors and geographies to identify an array of things that could go wrong, and torpedo a project. This book lists 366 ways to screw up a project. A "how-not-to" if you will. It will help you identify behaviors that are early warning signs of danger, and tell you what you can do to keep your project on track. Beyond 366 ways to destroy projects, the book features:
over 1200 behaviors that sabotage projects over 1100 potential consequences from these behaviors, and over 1100 actions you can take to fix screwed-up projects.
