Overview
When a company wants to take on something big, expensive, and risky, it forms a project. Unfortunately, the majority of large IT projects continue to miss expectations or fail outright. Frank and Dan will 1) discuss potential red flags that may indicate the need for improved project governance, and 2) share their perspectives on how to effectively structure a project risk management approach that significantly increases the odds of project success.
