Top 10 reasons CMMS projects fail:

It was a cold morning in Eugene and i was going through a good website on CMMS and thought i will share this with the user.

1. 
   
   Project team members get sidetracked and project loses momentum
2. 
   
   The importance of implementation planning is underestimated causing implementation efforts to become uncontrolled and unfocused
3. 
   
   Project gets near completion, then sputters along with no final go-live and cutover
4. 
   
   Software selection requirements are based on current processes and existing software, rather than improved processes and new technology
5. 
   
   Implementation is focused too much on software; not enough on project objectives and new management practices
6. 
   
   Project is thought to be completed once software is installed and operational
7. 
   
   Software was selected based on a “perception” or a “feeling”, not based on facts
8. 
   
   Minor technical system difficulties stall the entire project
9. 
   
   Implementation efforts are primarily focused on processes with little emphasis on reporting and information needs
10. 
    
    Employees are asked to enter system data in their spare time
