Human Systems’ research has consistently shown that despite the critical importance of excellent planning & estimating, organizational competence in this vital topic has hardly changed in almost 20 years! This survey aims to assess best practices in planning and estimating, and will identify how we are impacting the results of our projects, programs and portfolios. What is the impact of poor planning, and why do we still set projects running with inadequate estimates ... and without good plans?

Globally the value of project spends is being scrutinized across every industry from banking through to large scale public infrastructure. In the UK the debate about the costs v. benefits of the HS2 high speed rail project rages, with opponents questioning the forecasting methods and the assumptions made. We ask you to complete this survey to help us benchmark PPPM performance in this area.

All respondents who provide their contact details will receive the summary results of the survey and will have the opportunity to apply for a guest invitation* to the one day members’ workshop in London where the results will be explored in depth. For those members in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada and the US, the results will be presented in a webinar.

* Numbers of guest seats at this workshop are limited. Should demand exceed supply, then names will be put into a draw.

Please note that this survey will close on at 12 noon (GMT) on February 29th 2012.
