I’m interested in your comment “There is plenty of academic research into why projects fail, and the opposite: what makes projects a success.”

I have a son who is doing a dissertation and he seems to be struggling to find the sort of academic information that you are commenting on. .. there is lots of commercial / personal opinions type information readily accessible but he seems to be struggling with the research type data sources. Is it possible that you could give me a couple of pointers of where to look ?

Many thanks

Why is it that project teams never fess up to it being their fault?

Projects fail becasue too many people don’t sweat the hard stuff (communicating effectively.)
