 Project Management Statistics
PMIs earlier research reported that aligning projects with
strategic objectives has the greatest potential to add value to
an organization. But on average organizations report that
three of five projects are NOT aligned to strategy.
Organizations that are highly agile, nimble and able to
respond quickly to changing market dynamics complete
more of their strategic initiatives successfully than slower,
less agile organizations (69 percent versus 45 percent). But
only 15 percent of organizations report high organizational
agility.
