• Communication issues
• The CHAOS report has highlighted that 78 of
  project failures were deemed to be due to some or
  all of reasons such as
• Incomplete Requirements
• Changing Requirements
• Lack of User Involvement
• Inadequate Resource Planning
• Unrealistic Expectations
• Lack of Planning
• Lack of Management
• Lack of Support
• Is there an underlying common factor? Well yes,
  these are all ultimately communication
  problems...

Agile Delivery Management in action PAT
testimonials The flexibility of the
configuration has made it easy to adapt the
system to meet our needs and we are now starting
to realise benefits from sharing information and
being able to present it in varied formats for
different audiences"In PAT, we have selected a
great toolkit to bring to life our vision for a
tool to help Project Managers and to add value
for the Project Sponsors, Stakeholders and
Company Executive We needed a solution that
wasnt just a quick fix, but would grow with us
as we continued to develop we opted for PAT
because it gave us this flexibility. It provided
us with a completely new way of working. We
have been delighted with PAT. Its an extremely
powerful and comprehensive tool, yet very
flexible and intuitive.
