Many reasons are possible when disruptions occur in a project. And these reasons must be recognized and immediately addressed to ensure the project still continues and meets its goals.
There are key factors necessary to turning a bad project around:
-Immediate action
-Selection of a leader
-Specifying the problem/s
-Maintaining regular Owner contact
-Eliminate the problem/s and their causes
-Consider staff changes
-Monitor daily feedback
Also, determine whether the problem is easily corrected or for short-term only or, under more unfortunate circumstances, whether the problem will cause permanent damage on a long-term basis.
