The Real Work of Project Management: Improving Information Technology Project Success Rates
- By Richard Bernheim, MBA, PMP
Studies indicate that 80% of information technology project challenges are caused by people challenges. The author believes that project success rates would significantly improve if greater attention was paid by all project managers to the human side of project management. The article provides a framework for understanding personality traits and explains the need for continuous improvement of “soft” skills.
