Project Rescue and Recovery
The failure of a project could have major consequences to your business. Fog City Consulting will assist your organization first in correcting the project that is headed for failure, and second provide you with the knowledge to avoid such failures in the future. We address project rescue and recovery at both the organizational and individual project levels, depending on your specific needs.
Common Symptoms of Troubled Projects
- Critical issues keep being open and not resolved
- Competing deliverables keep taking resources away from the project
- Scope is constantly being changed after formal signoff
- The project is consistently behind its planned schedule
- There are critical and/or significantly growing technical issues with the project
With so much at stake, early detection and action are key to avoiding the substantial losses associated with troubled projects and project failures.
Fog City Consulting takes a full-life cycle approach to the rescue and recovery of projects. There are three steps within the approach.
Identification
For the organization, we help you implement a standard project assessment and recovery process to monitor your portfolio of programs and projects and identify candidates for review and possible intervention.
Recovery & Turnaround
At the project level, our experts will work with you to develop and implement a detailed Recovery Plan to quickly determine how to best proceed with the project. We can then lead and/or coach your project team throughout the entire recovery process.
Lessons Learned
All projects provide insights into how a host of items could have been done better. In most cases, these valuable lessons learned are rarely captured and acted upon. The information and recommendations in the lessons learned can provide tremendous value to your organization. Fog City Consulting helps you establish and maintain the processes for capturing, evaluating, and institutionalizing lessons learned that will improve the future performance across all projects.
