Systematic Biases and Culture in Project FailuresProject Management Journal - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 5-16 - 2008
Barry Shore
Project success rates have improved, and much of the credit can be given to the
knowledge, practices, and standards that have contributed to the
professionalization of the field. Unfortunately, too many failures still occur.

determine if understa... hiện toàn bộ
