CHAOS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


CHAOS derives from the Greek Χάος and typically refers to unpredictability. In the metaphysical sense, it is the opposite of law and order: unrestrictive, both creative and destructive.

The KPMG International 2002-2003 Program Management Survey* interviewed 230 organizations in 15 countries, including the Asia-Pacific region. It revealed that 59 per cent of the organizations surveyed had failed projects. The average cost of these failures across all participants was $10.4 million USD. Further, the survey showed that only around 10% of projects come in ‘on time’; less than 20 per cent came in ‘on budget’ – and only around 50 per cent of those projects that were evaluated even meet sponsor expectations.

Failing to plan is planning to fail!Failing to plan is planning to fail!

Dr. Kerzner, Advanced Project Management, Best Practices on Implementation, 2nd Edition

The primary benefit of NOT planning is that failure will come as a complete surprise rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression.
