The Top 10 Obstacles to Project Success!

Its time again to gauge the obstacles to project success! Last year over 1,000 project managers from all over the world participated in a MüTō sponsored survey and answered a question we posed, "What obstacles stand in the way to project success?"

MüTō compiled the answers and identified ten frequent themes. We labeled these, the "Top Ten Obstacles to Project Success":

#10. A skill set challenged team
#9. Delegated responsibility unrelated to authority
#8. Challenging schedule
#7. Minimal or non-existent testing
#6. Tardy delivery of project tasks
#5. The resource challenge
#4. The finance challenge
#3. A disappearing sponsor
#2. Invisible requirements
#1. Spontaneous requirements

This year we thought we would take a different tack. Based on your experience, we would like you to rank the frequency of each of the "Top Ten Obstacles to Project Success." Click the link below to take our three minute on-line survey.

After April 1st we'll report the findings to you. We will invite you to join us in our ongoing discussions as we examine each obstacle separately. We'll be discussing the reality of how each obstacle manifests, talk about the early detection of their symptoms, as well as discuss potential mitigation.

The emails will be supported by a blog-spot for you to post your own impressions. The best thing about this is...ITS ALL FREE!

We appreciate your time, and look forward to your participation!
