You are surprised by increases in cost and schedule of your projects due to problems that “should” have been foreseen.
Specialized Migration Services made possible by PowerMigrator
- Project managers are missing “surprise” impactful conditions and events that are causing them to have to come to you and the customer to request more time or money or adjust the targets of the project; i.e. they missed risks that could/should have been seen
- Your customers become angry and mistrustful because they are being surprised by the unforeseen events that they say you and your team should have anticipated
- Your project managers are reluctant to surface risk conditions and events – fearful that they will be punished for bringing bad news to the table
- Your projects suffer from morale issues because of these unseen risks and the lack of a process to identify, capture and plan how to adjust the project plan accordingly.
