Many ecommerce replatforming projects fail long before the first sprint begins—right at the leadership table. In this live episode, we dive into key reasons why, including the "Why-Now" Gap, where impulsive decisions turn into expensive mistakes; the lack of a true P&L owner, which allows committees to bloat budgets and delay launches; and "Kill-Switch Chaos," the challenge of knowing when to shut down struggling projects without acting too soon or too late. You'll walk away with a 90-Day Pilot Playbook designed to keep projects lean, measurable, and focused, along with a one-page “success contract” template you can start using immediately.
