Reported goal achievement for individual projects. Compare the proficiency groups within this measure.
PMI · 26 March 2025 ↗Agree the business outcome before committing delivery capacity.
Accountable roles: Sponsor + project manager
Evidence: Approved business case, measurable benefits and a named benefit owner.
Evidence shown comes from PMI publications dated March 2025, reviewed in September 2026. Publication year does not imply that every survey response was collected during 2025. These are reported group comparisons, not a time series, forecast or causal estimate. “pp” means percentage points.
| Measure | High business acumen | Other proficiency levels |
|---|---|---|
| Individual project goals | 83% | 78% |
| Organizational project goals | 78% | 72% |
| Project failure rate | 8% | 11% |
Goal-achievement and failure measures overlap and should not be added. Business-acumen proficiency is a respondent distribution; training allocation is a separate measure. No universal target or project-health rating is inferred.
Governance practices below the charts are Nimble One recommendations, not PMI survey results, guaranteed outcomes or a complete governance framework. Tailor responsibilities and controls to the project context.
