Changing requirements and employee turnover are widely perceived as one of the main reasons that a project will be late. It is a problem particularly experienced on a long design and development projects that needs to rework the designs to keep them in step with changes in the specifications or in the expectations of the clients.
Employee turnover is a ratio comparison of the number of employees a company must replace in a given time period to the average number of total employees. Wages, company benefits, employee attendance, and job performance are all factors that play a significant role in employee turnover. It can also be a factor that makes a project late because it changes number of staff either adding or losing personnel. It has proven to be one of the most costly and seemingly intractable human resource challenges confronting organizations.
Changing requirements are a fact of life on any project, and managing them can take a lot of time and effort. Managing requirements change has been a major challenge even for the best-run projects. Keeping track of how the changing business environment impacts ongoing projects and production applications can be a nightmare without proper tools and techniques.
There is a lot of talk about change and how we should alter the way we do to things at work and in our personal lives in order to be more effective. Sometimes we even hear how it is essential to change even if just for change’s sake. We are pattern-making mechanisms. In general, our system is more comfortable with pattern and routine than with change. Once a pattern is established, our brains will quite happily keep marching along that path. Sometimes we are already at ease on the things we usually do, so think what resistance we have when we try to change patterns that have been part of our lives for years. Some things we usually keep on doing are as simple and straightforward as the route we take into work every day. Some of it is as complex as the way we feel about ourselves.
