Abstract

Studies have shown that many projects never start on the right foot or come to a screeching halt due to budgetary constraints, unclear objectives and technical issues, all items that can be avoided if properly planned from the start. This talk will show how to manage a successful project - one that comes in on time and on budget and up to management's expectations. During this session, Mr. Mattus reviewed how different organizations measure success and failure of projects, identified the #1 cause for project failure, discussed project management paradoxes as well as identified project management components known to fail (goals, technical, teams, scope, etc.). This presentation also discussed the importance of the project manager in any project, identified training needs to ensure projects are successful and ways companies can use people/HR abilities to get results.
