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.

If you'd like to see your group contributing units to the library, encourage them to explore Twennie's topics and find ones they feel confident talking about. They can share within your group only, your organization only, or with the whole Twennie community.

my organization's library units

Organizations with a culture of learning are stronger and more successful. If you'd like to see your organization contributing units to the library, start by contributing yourself. Write articles and record videos on topics that interest you. If you have templates and exercises that have been useful to you in the past, share those, too. Your organization will follow your lead.
