Why it matters

Projects rarely fail on the day they are declared failed. They fail months earlier, in a meeting where somebody saw the problem coming and calculated it was not in their interest to say so. Everything else — the slipping schedule, the stretching budget — is the visible consequence of that silence.

What I look at first in a case like this is not the plan, it is how often it gets corrected. A project that replans every month with fresh data lands far closer than one that spends a year defending the baseline it signed when it knew least.

What usually goes wrong

The classic mistake is treating risk management as a deliverable of the planning phase. The matrix gets built, approved, filed. Nobody opens it again until closure, when it serves to document that the risk was foreseen — which is exactly the opposite of managing it.

What to watch

• Whether the status report shows any red projects: an all-green portfolio is a portfolio without information.
• Which risks are identified, who owns each one, and when they were last reviewed.
• The size of the first useful delivery: the further out it is, the more it resembles a bet.

How I read this entry

I would use it to review how the organisation estimates. If historical estimates were systematically out by half and nobody adjusted the method, no project will land well: you are planning with a ruler that measures short and blaming the team for not reaching the mark.
