All kidding aside, any project can be resurrected from the dead. But some are not so easy. Some organizations have so much politics and infighting that their projects are doomed from the start. Resurrecting a project in one of these organizations sometimes means changing the way people think. That’s sometimes not so easy. Everyone is right in their own eyes. They can’t see the trouble they’ve made for themselves. And the project manager doesn’t always have a clear vision, or even the means to inspire others to follow it. Implementing a nice project tracker like ST doesn’t always do it. You need a true visionary to pull projects out of the ditch.
So sure… it’s easy to poke fun at failing projects. But not always so easy to resurrect them. But why not try? Put a good timesheet product in place, and see what happens!
