Because most of the time the commitment and drive present in the contracts team to wing an LOI for a project for showing a good order booking, is not  present in the Project Management Team to make sure the project gets completed. The reasons may be as follows:

  1. Under Quoting
  2. Lack of Skilled Workforce
  3. Lack of Directon and Support from Top mgmt
  4. Fund Shortage
  5. Absence of good MIS
  6. Above all Lack of Planning and Monitoring

I would request you to comment it where it is so that the discussion does not have to remain limited to this site or this topic.

  2. Absence of customized Change Control Mechanisms.
  3. No communication
  4. No budget
  5. Absence of Risk Identification,
  6. Lack of Prioritization,
  7. Absence of Response Planning

Well from my experience project fails continuously due to

  • lack of communication
  • unrealistic time frame commitments
  • team takes on too much
  • lack of prioritization and
  • a never ending cycle of creating more problems due to lack of organization.
Main reason is the organization failed to learn from the previous failed project
