Distressed Projects: Prevention and Intervention Strategies
Learn Practical Strategies to Reverse Project Failure - Recognize and Recover Distressed Projects
Finally! Today’s fast-paced, high change project environments, coupled with organizations where formal project management may not be its strong suit, are often short on the necessary up-front planning. These casual approaches can be the beginning of runaway (off-schedule and budget) projects that are high risk for failure.
This course gives practical advice and strategies for the prevention, behavior detection, analysis, recovery and control of distressed projects, focusing on where the project is in relation to its original goals/targets, realigning the project objectives and team (with the least amount of opposition and angst), and building a sound execution and control strategy to solidify the project’s recovery and successful completion.
