About the Course
This course provides a framework for proactively managing a project that is not performing within the range of acceptable tolerance limits and may be moving toward a possible failure. Warning signs of negative project trends are explored. An assessment process is introduced that emphasizes the importance of observations and recommendations based on verifiable facts. The recovery process implements a plan that returns the project to a realistic state within achievable and acceptable tolerance limits.
