Most struggling projects don’t have a management problem. They have a foundation problem.
- Wrong problem was defined
- Wrong project was approved
- Expectations were never aligned

We’ve seen the same pattern again and again:
A project fails and the project manager gets blamed, and likely fired.
But projects don’t fail because of bad project managers.
They fail because they were never set up for success.
