Abstract
Your Mission, if You Choose to Accept It: Project Management ExcellenceTrack: System Implementation for GIS
Author(s): David L. Hamil
Project failure is endemic in the GIS industry. A recent study performed by KPMG Information Technology showed that of the projects that failed, 87 percent went more than 50 percent over budget, 45 percent failed to produce the expected benefits, and 86-92 percent went over schedule. Do you know why 85 percent of all projects fail to meet all of their critical measures of success? Do you know how to avoid the pitfalls and mistakes that can cripple your projects and derail your career? If you answered no to either of these questions, then your projects may be in trouble. This paper presents the top 10 factors that have a direct bearing on the success or failure of a GIS project and the strategy for substantially achieving project management excellence.
