A project is considered failed, if the prescribed requirement to supply the service in a given time at a given price is not achieved. Studies of independent institutes proved that world-wide almost every second project fails to meet these requirements while the tendency to high failure ratio is rising.

There are many reasons, why the defined aims of the project are not reached:

• No acceptable performance specification exists.
• The requirements are not described in a distinct and understandable manner.
• The work packages (subprojects) are too comprehensive and thus difficult to understand.
• The scope of the performance specification is constantly changed during the current development.
• Inappropriate requirements exist which are only marginally helpful for the user.
• Interpersonal conflicts in the design team or between design and management are obstructive to the development progress.
• The existing technical knowledge and experiences prove to be insufficient.
• Inappropriate project management prevents timely corrections.  

These are only a few examples known to nearly any developer and corporate executive. The challenge is to judge a process in which one is involved critically. It is therefore most helpful and sometimes absolutely vital to obtain expert assistance from independent third parties – whether in private or in commercial matters.

The consulting package for project management includes the following steps:

• Establishing the actual condition
