PROJECT MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP - Why plans fail Lack of planning. Team

PROJECT MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP - Why plans fail
Lack of planning. Team has

no sense of direction.
The plan has a lack of stakeholders. Without support the plan cannot be implemented.
Project manager completes plan alone. When appropriate people are involved in the buy-in there will be a higher quality plan with more insights and a smoother path for implementation.
The team thinks implementation will be easy. The job is underestimated and unexpected consequences can derail project.
