Eliminate Project Failure


Know your PCIs (Pre-Crisis Indicators)

What are they?

Pre-Crisis Indicators

PCI stands for Pre-Crisis Indicator.

They BLINDSIDE a project team and crush its MOMENTUM three ways:

1.????? Intention undefined

2.????? Scope uncontrolled

3.????? Engagement inconsistent

How do they surface?

Imagine the project team enthusiastically ready to go.

The project manager has meticulously crafted with the subject matter experts and the business analysts a plan to bring in the project ahead of schedule, on budget, and the ROI will be maximized.

And then, when the PM least expects, BAM!!!

The PM is having a status meeting and hears that the team members are working on something that has nothing to do with the intention…a “side project.”

It adds to the scope; scope that the steering committee did not approve and only those who thought it was a great idea, are engaged.

It all happened because somehow three words were missed from the business, “could you just” and then three words from IT “may as well.”

This is how project team’s momentum is crushed.

They now need to go back to step one.

Listening skills are key. Thoughts?

Getting caught in the middle of the 3 PCIs is no fun. It raises havoc in a project and unless the PM is highly skilled at "herding cats" then the doom and gloom begins. What do you think #projectmanager
