The research, based on a survey of 1,681 HR professionals, suggests that the failure to meet project goals often stems from a lack of structured planning rather than a lack of effort. Without established protocols for scoping, risk assessment, and stakeholder engagement, departments frequently face scope creep and missed deadlines. Lexi Hambides, director of HR Research & Advisory Services at McLean & Company, notes that project success is rarely accidental; it requires deliberate execution grounded in fundamentals that build trust and optimize resources.

HR Departments Struggle to Master Project Management Fundamentals
Only 19% of human resources departments currently demonstrate high effectiveness in project management, according to a recent study by McLean & Company. As HR teams increasingly spearhead complex organizational changes and AI integrations, this persistent gap in execution threatens to undermine their ability to deliver measurable business value.
To address these deficiencies, the firm has released a new blueprint titled "Get Started with HR Project Management." The framework outlines a three-step process designed to help leaders standardize how they plan, execute, and close initiatives. By shifting from ad-hoc task management to a more rigorous, consistent methodology, HR teams can improve their operational credibility and ensure that strategic priorities are met without sacrificing output quality.
