Starting exploration projects. Killing the weaker projects. They are all important but I believe that the most vital is #8 – the ability to kill off the weaker projects. Starting evaluation projects is harder but you need to start many because no-one knows which will succeed. If you start 20 projects it is likely that you are going to have to eliminate at least 17 or 18 of them. Here are some bad reasons to kill innovation projects.

Some teams struggle to constantly optimize conversion rates without understanding the financial impact of those conversion rates. Sometimes that 0.1% increase isn't worth the engineering time we're spending! Early stage startups in particular may not need a four year business plan, but they need to start building out a model which will show how they can someday be profitable. At the very least, they need to be able to see the impact of a change in retention rates to their user growth.

Yet, we know that most projects are neither on-budget nor on-time. The bigger and more critical the project, the more likely that it will over-run budgets and get delayed. So, why is it that most large projects fail? If yes, conduct an analysis on what did we learn from the project.

In this case, change is a choice, so we like it. But there is also a negative side to change: when the change affects you personally, unpleasantly, and unknowingly. Linear change is a one-way street with many predictable consequences. Change the View.

How to align portfolios, projects and processes when all that you have in common is difference. When we consider the many changes mergers and acquisitions (M&A) impose on those involved, there’s a tendency from both ‘sides’ to focus first on apparent differences between ‘us’ and ‘them’. In this outcome-focused white paper, we illustrate the steps required to align, harmonize and compare projects on equal terms within a merged (post-M&A) Project Portfolio.
