Your Project Backlog Isn't a Capacity Problem. It's One of Three Very Different Root Causes

See how two UK Universities identified which problem was actually blocking delivery, then accelerated delivery without reassigning more team members.

If your project backlog keeps growing despite your team working harder than ever, you've probably treating the wrong problem.

Most CDIO's assume it's capacity, not enough people, not enough time. So they restructure departments, send teams on training, commit more staff to projects.

And the backlog keeps growing anyway.

Here's what we've discovered: there are actually three completely different root causes behind project delivery problems in higher education IT:

Execution Paralysis : Years of backlog, ad-hoc processes, team stuck in reactive mode
Capacity Constraints : Solid processes but genuinely not enough hands
Strategic Misalignment : Delivering projects, just the wrong ones

Each requires a completely different solution.

That's why generic "assign more staff" advise fails so spectacularly.

These two case studies show what happens when you match the right solution to the actual problem, not the assumed one.

The Case Studies Today:

The University CMS Replacement That Was Stuck For 9 Years

How they got a critical system replacement from political limbo to business-case-approved and moving in 14 weeks - with full faculty alignment, governance in place, and vendor criteria defined. (Root cause: Execution Paralysis)

The University Digital Readiness Reality Check

How an 8-week assessment shaped a multi-milion-pound programme for delivery success after identifying that limited architectural and change capability with conflicting priorities were putting it at considerable risk.

In the first follow-up email (5 minutes after download), you'll get a simple framework to identity whether you're dealing with Execution Paralysis, Capacity Constraints, Strategic Misalignment and what works for each.
