  • What is the most common (unsolved) problem in IT project management? | LinkedIn Answers | LinkedIn
    Interesting discussion by project managers. "As the saying goes, you can't improve what you can't measure."
    "Poor up-front planning
    If you're going to be good at project management, you have to understand that the UP-FRONT PLANNING process has value. You need to know that if you plan the project well (in other words, if you know what you're doing before you start), you'll be able to manage the work more effectively. I have seen organizations that say they want to apply good project management, but then are UNWILLING TO INVEST IN TIME REQUIRED. No one wants to take the time to plan. Instead, everyone wants to start executing immediately and then redo all the work later to get it right."
