- Organizations lack the resources, know-how and commitment to manage culture change.
- Executives says they want good project management methologies, but their actions don't back up their words.
- The methodology isn't scaled appropriately to the size of the project -- making project management seem cumbersome and unfocused.
- Organizations fail to plan up front.
- Senior managers think project management is a software tool.
It's take courage to initiate change. Managers need to be willing to take risks if they want projects to run better. SCRUM provides a framework for addressing these failures.
