In some cases, and it is not uncommon, we have been asked to effectively “reboot” a project.
Projects start with great hopes and enthusiasm but sometimes with unclear goals, non-optimal management practises and the wrong mix of skills. Schedules slip, budgets explode, project management is under great stress but covers the cracks to please the client and senior management.
Little by little senior management realises things are not right and we are called in before or after a crisis.
Naturally, what we must do depends on many factors.
