Project Reset: A Fresh Path for Project Management to Overcome Traditional Challenges

It began with the authors, Andreas Trautner and Lasse Hasselstrøm from DIS/CREADIS Project Excellence Consulting, failing with their respective projects. Now, after a decade and a half of study and research, they reveal several shared truths about projects:

• Projects often fail for the same well-known reasons. • Projects that fail, fail from the start. • Organizations that attempt to address these issues are likely to fail. • These challenges have persisted for decades.

These recurring issues stem from a deeper, systemic problem: the lack of consensus on fundamental definitions within project management. Instead, each framework, methodology, method and ideology offers its own interpretation of what constitutes a project, project success, project management and what a project manager is — with different academic schools contributing their own perspectives as well.

As a result, projects often become "Towers of Confusion" — modern-day equivalents of the Tower of Babel — where differing cultures and languages hinder effective communication and success.

Project Reset addresses these challenges by offering clear and logical definitions, and a unified language for project management. The authors boldly challenge outdated concepts like the "Project Triangle" and the "Project Life Cycle," replacing them with an innovative, people-centered, and investment-driven approach: The Project Investment Chain®. This transformative framework provides readers with an actionable approach to achieve meaningful and sustainable results.

The future of project management starts here.

Reset your mindset. Redefine success.
