Top 10 Reasons CMMS Projects
Fail
1. The importance of implementation planning is
underestimated causing implementation tasks to be uncontrolled and
unfocused
2.
Software requirements are stated in AMBIGUOUS terms and
software vendors present their solutions with a can do
attitude
3.
Software is selected based on a “perception”, not based on a
factual evaluation against your needs
4. Implementation is focused too much on
software; not enough on project objectives and new management
practices
5. Project team members get sidetracked and
project loses momentum
6.
Level of effort is underestimated and employees are asked to
implement the system in their spare time
7.
Minor technical system difficulties stall the entire project
8.
Implementation efforts are primarily focused on processes
with little emphasis on reporting and information needs
9. Project gets near completion, then sputters
along with no final go-live and cutover
10. Project
is thought to be completed once software is installed and
operational
