Project ....(Work)............. Completion ?

Have you ever driven by a project that was half finished........ but was now abandoned? 

It is a "lasting testimony of something that ONCE had a vision", often with significant (now wasted) resources invested, but "something" happened that killed the project.

Why do most projects fail to be completed? 

There could be a number of reasons.....

- There could have been a failure to raise adequate funds (resources) to complete it. 

- There could have been a fall-out among management. (relationship issues)

- The project could have been simply ill-conceived. (Lack of R&D /Due diligence)

Good planning is key to estimating what it will take to complete a project. 

"Then the LORD replied: 'Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time ?'" ( Hab 2:2-3).

We must conceive the project and clearly write out the vision with detailed specifications that identify what will be needed to complete it, -not ignoring to visualize what the end result might look like, -once it is successful

Entrepreneurs have a tendency to conceive projects without estimating the financial and manpower requirements to complete the projects. 

Many a project has died because of this trait in entrepreneurs.

Great entrepreneurs understand their need to have detail-people around them that can take their ideas and put the details around them. (=HJ)

These are wise entrepreneurs who have learned to complement their weakness with those who can help them achieve their vision. 

Do you have a vision for a work God has called you to do? 

See to it that you complete the work you have received in the Lord.'" (Col 4:17).

Identify what will be needed to achieve success.

Leave it in 'your head' is NOT good enough.....

Put it in writing....

- 1st Brainstorm it with ALL participants 

- Prioritize the remainder

- Set milestones of when to follow-up & check progress

- Set a definite start & completion date

* Find out WHY ? you want to do it; the motivation ; the reward

Manage it

Change where necessary when it is necessary
