This a Project Management & Planning download which will help anyone in the Training and Development department with trying to figure out how long their participants, the learners will take to complete the program they have designed. This can be remarkable in trying to determine the number of resources needed to be applied to the program before the organization gives the final “green light” for approval. Even though by this point most organizations have given approval all programs are subject to retooling, and this spreadsheet is a great tool during that process as well.

Organizational Clarity: “5 Reasons for Cost And Time Overruns in E-learning Projects” article

From the CommlabIndia community is an article from easy, cheap solutions to meet organizational needs. In an email I received was a link to: “5 Reasons for Cost And Time Overruns in E-learning Projects” by Hema Gopalakrishnan. One of the things that are hard to ask about or even discuss in a realistic sense through academic formats is overruns when it comes to costs and time, in academics, concepts of project management run at 100% perfection at all times. In reality, this is not the case, this article briefly discusses five reasons that there are the overruns and why project management is harder than what is explained in a textbook.

These are the five reasons for time and cost overruns in E-Learning projects listed in the article: 

1.       Initiating a project even before the inputs are ready

2.       Quoting in a hurry without having complete knowledge of the project details

3.       Poor planning 

4.       Wrong assumptions on part of both the client and the vendor 

5.       Change of stakeholder or internal teams

Knowing what could go wrong and what could cause overruns will assist you as a project manager to have measures in place to address these issues before they become major problems. Executing E-learning projects is hard enough keeping expectations, sponsors and stakeholders all in line, is a strange, difficult juggling act as it is. But this article may assist you if you face these type of issues in your organization when implementing a program or if you are a project manager just trying to get your project off and running without a whole lot of drama.
