  PROJECT MANAGEMENT  
  When I was a student, I saw an advert in my college magazine looking for people to go on a road trip. Eight of us would buy an old minibus, drive it across the continent, and sell it at the end for about the same price we paid for it. The idea was immediately attractive – companionship, new people, new places, new experiences, low cost – and we soon embarked on our adventure.
  It was a disaster. What went wrong?:
  · We were interested in different things, some of us preferring magnificent scenery, others preferring cities.
  · We had different personalities. For example, some were punctual, others laid-back. Some were free-spending, some were careful with money. Some liked rock music, others folk music.
  · There were constant arguments and discussions about where to go, what routes to take, how long to spend in different places. The discussions went on and on because no-one felt able to take the lead.
  · Costs spiralled because the van broke down a few times. It sold for much less than we had hoped.
  · We eventually discovered that the self-appointed map reader had no sense of direction.
  · Delays meant that we couldn’t get to where most of us thought we were going.
  · Delays meant that I missed my flight home, and I certainly did not come back refreshed and enlightened.
  This trip had many of the typical features of a project, and highlights many of the risks. In general, a project – such as implementing a new IT system – has the following characteristics:
  · It is different to one’s normal activities.
  · It has a start, an end, and a duration.
  · Often there is initial enthusiasm about being included in the project team; that is going to solve an important problem and herald in the splendid new IT system.
  · Often unique tasks and problems are addressed. New IT system implementation is likely to be rare.
  · Team members are drawn from many different backgrounds, each with their own priorities, outlooks, skills and terminologies. The accounts department wants certain reports, the sales department wants others, and IT wants high specification equipment.
  · The team members might never have worked together before.
  · Often, no benefit is obtained until the project is completed. Abandonment part way through will have incurred costs without yielding benefits.
  These characteristics should scream ‘danger’, and many projects are much less successful than hoped, just as our holiday was. If you are aware that danger accompanies an undertaking, then it makes sense to understand the nature of the undertaking and how the danger can be managed.
