Why Good Projects Fail Anyway - Summary

The article has described the failure of the projects and the plans, sometimes the budgets are
reduced to get safe from the risks, however, due to the unusual budgets the plans can never be
successful. Sometimes the project managers failed to understand where they are lacking and
what should they needed to do. Most of the projects fail when the manager neglects the two
very important risks which are “White space risk” and “Integration risk”. White space risk is
the risk which is not identified, this risk can be the gaps that the managers failed to
understand. However, the integration risk is when the activities do not come properly as
expected at the end of the project. The mission of the project team and the managers should
be to achieve the goals at the end of the project. In some cases, projects are focused, so the
learning could be there, however, the small-scale plans are focused first so that the issues can
be identified and problems can be fixed, after that the full-scale plans are focused or
initiatives are taken for them. For the actual benefits the team needs to plan and test the
potentials in the short-term. A leader needs to balance all the activities and need to be careful
so the rapid results can be there, however, the leaders need to implement the strategies
beneficial for the overall projects, there is need to identify the strategies for the best plans.
The companies need to identify the risk and should take steps to reduce them so that the great
opportunities for the team members can be there and the projects do not fail.
