Poorly planned projects don’t just create headaches for the project manager, they quietly drain money through rework, delays, and project budget overruns that most leaders never see coming. After two decades working with executives and project teams, I’ve seen how project planning mistakes turn into the cost of bad project management: missed revenue, stalled timelines, and the frustrating question of why projects go over budget. In this video, I break down how poorly planned projects happen, what drives project budget overruns, and why even experienced teams fall into the same traps.
You’ll learn the early warning signs of poorly planned projects, the real reasons project planning mistakes escalate, and how stronger project management practices prevent the cost of bad project management from hitting your bottom line. If you’re a project manager or decision-maker trying to understand why projects go over budget and how to fix it, this breakdown will give you the clarity you need to strengthen your project management approach and protect your organization from avoidable project budget overruns.
