Reasons Projects Fail

The reasons projects fail stated in article all actually seem pretty obvious. It all really points to one reason which is poor planning.

Poor Planning - Really not thought out with reachable goals and deadlines or with proper work force and materials.

Poor communication - Documents, plans or verbal communications are done poorly or not at all.

Resources - Not enough, not right ones or miss used resources. Leads to delays and wasted money.

Changes - With poor planning they might find their idea is not going to work and have to rethink the project causing delays and wasting resources.

Delays - These can come from natural sources or human problems and mistakes. Changes in the project can also cause delays.

Like I said it all points to the first point with is simply bad planning from the very start. The project needs and good solid foundation because you can start work on it.

Cameron as a Project

As with any project the overall goal is success (or at least I would hope so). But to succeed there are many things that need to come into to play. From the point of a student we can pick out things like:


 - Finishing assignments on time (Try not to do them the hour before class like I am now)

• Understand and learning the materials from these assignments.
• Figure out how it applies to your field or every day life.
• This also goes for studying for exams.

 - Attendance (Coming to every class and if thats not possible keeping up with the work)

• Come to class on time.
• Come ready to listen and participate.
• Get good sleep and eat before class so you have energy.

 - Social Networking (Get to know your peers and teachers)

• Makes coming to class and participating easier.
• Needed in careers as well.
• Could help you get a job later if you have connections

If I had to split a successfull student into 3 categories those would be them. Success in terms of a student is really getting good grades and of course learning something along with those grades.
