Find a flawed or failed project&#x2026;and we all know where that story goes (but we won&#x2019;t elaborate, because we&#x2019;re being very positive today, right?).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Autonomy\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Autonomy<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Project sponsors, project executives and other folks with important job titles are great at authorizing project managers to do their job &#x2013; but they&#x2019;re often &#x201C;not so great&#x201D; (how&#x2019;s that for positive language?) at giving them the autonomy they need to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a result, many <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/project-management-solutions\/project-managers-solutions.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">project managers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and their teams spend an enormous amount of time either wrestling for control of their project, or just as often, desperately trying to protect the integrity of their project from outsiders who aren&#x2019;t adding any value (or don&#x2019;t show up with snacks).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps the simplest way of saying this is that autonomy and success are go hand-in-hand. Get rid of the former, and the latter is more by luck, and less by design.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Project_Management_Software\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Project Management Software<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The stories that some project managers tell about the state of their project management software &#x2013; or rather, the lack of it &#x2013; should be the motivation for a horror movie. I can see the poster now: &#x201C;The Project Managers Have Eyes&#x201D;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Oh wait, we&#x2019;re being positive, right? Sorry.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The thing is, when it comes to success, good <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/mkt.clarizen.com\/registration.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">project management software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> isn&#x2019;t optional and never has been.
