Barriers to Success

[admin]

There are several barriers to success.

Understanding and overcoming these four barriers is critical to the success of a project overall:


Lack of Ownership ¬? Responsibility -
 for enterprise application may be distributed in different departments or teams resulting in no single owner of the strategic plan.

Politics ¬?-
 Politics and internal boundaries may create barriers to developing a
comprehensive plan, or the plan's owner may not have the support of the team members
in other departments.

Competing Priorities ¬?-
 Team members who support and work on enterprise application
projects may have competing priorities with non-project related job responsibilities.

Culture ¬?-
 An organization's culture and past project history may impair the team's
ability to develop and execute a plan. The team may view the strategic planning exercise
as another "flavor of the month" initiative.
