SMALL SAMPLE OF GUIDELINES TO
Give Your Project the Best Chance at Success
1
Plan Vision & MVP Early
Lay out capabilities and features in a story map, prioritize them, and define the true MVP before time or budget pressures force compromise.
2
Face Challenges Forst
Tackle the hardest, riskiest, or least-known components first. Waiting often means painful rework — or total project reset.
3
Engage Beyond IT
IT may build the system, but business must own decisions, training, and client support. Projects fail when business isn’t engaged.
4
Plan a Phased Go-Live
Roll out in stages — starting with clients using the fewest capabilities and most willing to partner through issues. Build momentum with early wins.
5
Manage Offshore Resources
Vendors like Infosys, Cognizant, and Accenture can add huge value — but only if you understand how they staff and avoid common pitfalls.
6
Align With The Calendar
Releases must align with fiscal and client cycles. Choose windows when training and system downtime won’t disrupt critical year-end or reporting work.
Why You Need An Expert
- 59% of IT projects finish within budget
- 47% finish on time
- 44% deliver intended benefits
But only 1 in 200 IT projects meet all three success measures.
Most that fail run 75% over budget, 46% late, and deliver 39% less value than promised.
Jeff helps companies beat these odds — ensuring projects deliver measurable value instead of missed opportunities.
