Summary

This hands-on learn-by-doing workshop will work through the organization’s real-life project example to help resolve challenges in focus. Two facilitators will be assigned to work with customer personnel over the 2- to 3-day period of the workshop. Customer personnel may be divided into groups to address particular areas of the subject. Presentations, documents, templates etc. generated during the workshop will be handed over to the customer.

This workshop will examine a real-life troubled project, diagnose causes and recommend recovery steps. We start by assessing the variances in scope, budget and schedule that are in excess of acceptable limits, and the nature of the challenges that the project is faced with, ranging from intrinsic complexity, quality management issues, or unrealistic schedule or budget through to changing requirements and underlying technology.

We will recommend next steps, and as appropriate, the required execution methodology, re-scoping, re-planning, control and management required to bring the project back on track, as well as the requirements from the project leadership and team.
