One time when an innovation idea results into a business model common project management skills are in demand. According to a study of PM Solutions 37 % of IT projects fail.
Among the main barriers the following three things are mentioned:
- Requirements: Unclear, lack of agreement, lack of priority, contradictory, ambiguous, imprecise.
- Resources: Lack of resources, resource conflicts, turnover of key resources, poor planning.
- Schedules: Too tight, unrealistic, overly optimistic.
Reading this you may say: “That’s not a mystery. You can learn this in a basic project management training.” But still these problems are part of daily business. I also experience this regularly.
As so often the solution sounds quite easy but the implementation seams to be pretty hard … that’s in fact the same thing with innovation barriers.
