7 out of 10 IT projects fail.  That's a scary statistic.  Most organizations that embark on a transformational project simply cannot afford for it to fail.  There are many reasons why projects fail.  Most often, the reason falls down to a key lack of one of the following key components.

• Project Leadership:  Does the project have a competent and dedicated leadership team in place ?  Can this team address the often difficult business decisions necessary to endure political, economic and other key business implications for the project?  Without good project leaders, an initiative will likely fail.  SummaTG can and does provide interim executive leadership for projects.  Our executive team regularly steps in to key leadership roles in companies as their needs require.   By definition our role is temporary as many organizations don't need or want full-time IT leadership on their staff.
• Management: Project management is often confused with project leadership and execution.  Simply put, this is the discipline of keeping a project on target, on budget and all people held accountable for results.   SummaTG leverages PMBOK and Agile concepts in our project management approach, which is tailored for every client and project situation.
• Technical Competence: Historically speaking, the best technical teams outperform *average* technical teams by a ratio of 10 to 1.   These stunning numbers take into account massive variability of the productivity across technical staff.    Don't convince yourself that average will cut it.  In fact, "average" will likely cause your project to fail.  You cannot afford anything less than the best, most mature technical staff on your project.    SummaTG only staffs with the top 5% of all technical staff available.  We keep our standards high and our volume low in order to produce quality of output, not quantity of people.
