| Organising Projects for Success! |
|
We are hoping with the onset of Spring that you and your organisation are feeling a sense of rejuvenation. We are constantly looking at ways to improve and expand our offerings, and have a host of new offerings for you to try!
The theme of this edition is Project Leadership. Often we think Project Managers are responsible for leading project teams, however Barlie Sarlie explains that accountability for successful projects no longer lies exclusively with the Project Manager. |

| What do you mean Project Leadership... |
|
Bahia Sarlie, PMP® - PM.Ideas Consultant
Project Management is a relatively young discipline (in comparison to engineering for example) and is constantly evolving. Similarly, the perception that the accountability for successful projects lies exclusively with the Project Manager has been consistently debunked over the past two decades. The Standish Group has been publishing their annual CHAOS report for the past 19 years. The highlight of this report, for many, is the factors which materially influence both the success and failure of (IT) projects. |
