Rescuing a Project That Has Gone Off the Rails
When a project derails, speed alone won’t fix it. This topic teaches how to diagnose, stabilize, and rebuild trust with clarity and calm leadership.
Rescuing a Project That Has Gone Off the Rails helps teams respond to project distress with structure rather than panic. It guides project managers through diagnosing root causes, pausing nonessential work, clearing decision backlogs, re-establishing communication rhythms, and rebuilding client confidence through transparency. The emphasis is on stabilizing first, accelerating second. With the right steps, struggling projects can be recovered—and relationships can be repaired rather than damaged.
