The Project Success Checklist: Drive Alignment, Produce Results, and Reduce the Risk of Project Failure

Research shows project success rates are between 30% and 70%; that’s either a C- or total failure. Surely, we can do better. The Project Success Checklist highlights a process for increasing project success by using a simple tool—the checklist—with a twist: create your own checklist with the critical factors tailored to your organization to build trust, avoid simple but perilous mistakes, and deliver successful projects.

As a consultant and instructor with more twenty years of project management and organizational effectiveness experience, Roger Kastner has been creating, refining, and using his Project Success Checklist process for almost a decade with solid results.

The Project Success Checklist is smart, accessible, and full of practical advice. With this indispensable manual in hand, every project manager will have all they need to plan and prepare their projects better, build stronger alignment with sponsors and stakeholders, reduce risks, and increase the odds of project success.
