A Project Closed Perfectly does not mean a Perfectly Closed Project

Failure is an unavoidable part of any project process … what is the old motto fail to plan, plan to. However sometimes, it is the degree of failure that makes the difference. A lot of project are under immense pressure to deliver and not just deliver the project, but ensure that value is also delivered. Project managers can learn as much, if not more, from failed projects as they can from successful ones. Here are three major projects that had enormous issues:

• New Coke as Coca-Cola is one of the most iconic brands in the world this was deemed for success. Coca-Cola made a basis error and neglected market research to see if there was a need for developing a new product, but they were blind to their own customers’ motivations and it failed due to a lack of engagement
• Challenger Space Shuttle in 1986 failed due to a leak in one of the two solid rocket boosters that set off the main liquid fuel tank. The NASA investigation that followed said the failure was due to a faulty design
• Dublin Port Tunnel in 2005 was deemed a heroic gesture by the Dublin Transport Agency to bridge Dublin Post with the outside of the city. Designed with diligence, it failed due to poor media engagement and hazards becoming reality (even those that were never visualized)

Successful projects begin with a strong plan. But also successful projects have a strong finish and it can be argued that the finish is more important than the start. Here are some tips to close project successfully ... https://www.turlon.com/poorly-closed-projects/
