When do you need project rescue?
If your project exhibits warning signs of trouble, you likely need project rescue. These indicators can manifest in various ways, but common examples include consistently missed deadlines, leading to significant schedule slippage. Similarly, if the project budget is being exceeded without a corresponding increase in delivered functionality or value, it’s crucial to investigate the underlying causes.
Another critical indicator is a growing disconnect between the delivered solution and the initial business requirements. If the system being developed doesn’t align with the core needs of the business or fails to address the intended pain points, it’s a sign that the project’s direction needs to be re-evaluated. This misalignment can stem from poor communication, unclear requirements gathering or changes in business needs that haven’t been adequately addressed.
Beyond this, a lack of transparency, finger-pointing and a general sense of unease are all signs that the project’s health is at risk. In such situations, external intervention can be invaluable in restoring trust, facilitating open communication and re-establishing a collaborative working relationship.
