Why Projects Fail?

With the PMBOK® entering into its 6th Edition and with over 700,000 PMPs using it, it appears that we have covered all the bases in order to improve our project success rates. But project failure rate is still too high and we keep doing the same things and expect different result. This session is not about going over superficial reasons for project failures; it is about exploring the underlying causes for these failures and it offers practical ideas on how to increase the chances you will deliver project success.
