Why it matters

In project management, nearly everything discussed as a technical problem is really a problem of expectations badly negotiated at the start. Scope, time and cost were agreed at a moment when nobody had enough information, and afterwards nobody wanted to reopen the conversation.

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

Where it usually breaks is the handover to operations. The project is declared finished when it is delivered, not when the receiving area can sustain it. Three months later the team has dissolved, nobody documented anything, and operations lives with something it does not understand and cannot change.

What to watch

  • 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 it was estimated and how close the same organisation's previous estimates turned out to be.

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.
