How we can solve the Late Project problem
Since the beginning of formal project management, projects have been suffering from time overruns, de-synchronization and lack of predictability. Even leaps in technology has not been able to counter this. What could be the reason for this inexplicable trend?
How much damage can resource shortages do to projects really? – Part 2
Let us start with the answers to the questions posed in the previous article –
How much damage can resource shortages do to projects really?

So why should we worry about facing shortages in project situations? We should always be able to predict the impact and take recovery actions.
What if our best attempts to minimize time and cost overruns in projects, are pointless?
All over the world, the incidents of time and cost overruns and lack of synchronization in major projects are continuing unabated. Most think that the primary problem is of visibility and monitoring. And hence, technology seems to be the proverbial silver bullet for all our project woes.
