Commercial Project Management
Are you struggling with an overwhelming number of change requests? Are these causing unforeseen delays to your programme?
Most contracts are focused on task delivery rather than outcome based, resulting in scope creep. Where initial contracts do not completely specify every relevant aspect of the project work the result is long negotiations, arbitration and/or mitigation due to work change orders and the quest for reviewed contractual agreement with new budgets and schedule. Ultimately leading to project delay and cost overrun. Similarly, ambiguous contractual agreements with unclear clauses can cause disputes which generate further delays and cost overrun.
The Key Reasons for IT Project Delay are:
- Scope creep
- Poorly defined objectives and requirements
- Lack of commercial support on the programme
- Poor project management
- Poor communication between parties
- Poorly drafted contracts (e.g. responsibilities of the parties)
- Lack of progress reporting
