Topic Description: The management of Troubled Projects represents a unique opportunity for improving PM / CM performance as leaders and opportunities to overcome obstacles facing the industry. Experience has shown that Troubled Projects require unique and specialized managerial techniques. Fundamental causes include managerial mistakes, planning mistakes, and external factors. Troubles can take many forms including inadequate planning and baselines, missed deadlines, human resource management issues, poor cost control and/or poor time management. Early warning signs included: poor change management and control, delayed decisions, high-tension meetings, poor project reporting, frequent crises, unrealistic forecasts, and high personnel turnover. This presentation offers techniques to develop leadership skills. With an emphasis on collaboration, the content offers proven successful managerial techniques for recognition, recovery, and resolution of these Troubled Projects. Recognition is crucial and earlier is better. Recognition techniques and related project KPI’s are discussed. Recovery techniques vary, depending on certain key factors. The factors are presented and the most effective recovery approaches are coupled with the Troubled Project key factors. Since people and process are interconnected, selection of recovery techniques and/or recovery support team are addressed. Finally, resolution can take many forms and paths. Choosing the best resolution technique is essential. Resolution techniques, as well as selection and implementation criteria, will be presented. Case studies of successful management of Troubled Projects will be highlighted. Troubled Projects can be successfully managed when the optimal managerial approaches are used. Troubles can be converted to success using techniques that are offered in this presentation. |
