THE IMPORTANCE OF PROJECT OR PROGRAM RESCUE

The bigger the undertaking, the greater and more frequent the problems that could possibly arise. These problems can compound. One missed deadline becomes two. One broken promise leads to another. Budgets explode, so do tempers. Hurt feelings lead to legal threats. These things occur in projects, probably more often than one would hope. When projects or programs are starting to show signs of failure, it is important to quickly identify the problems and remedy them before they end in disaster.

HOW FPOV CAN HELP WITH PROGRAM OR PROJECT RESCUE

FPOV can offer our experienced services in many different ways when it comes to program oversight:

• We help organizations develop a program or project rescue plan. We have identified seven main components to effectively deal with problems that arise in a major software implementation. These include ways to identify the problems, ways to encourage stakeholders to report potential issues early so they do not manifest into something greater, and how to remediate issues once they are identified.
• If a program or project is continually missing deadlines and coming in over budget, we can assess why. We can help with reorganization of teams or identify if there are skills or requirements that the endeavor is missing.
• We can walk side-by-side with an organization as they attempt to rescue a program or project. We can act as a mediator between an organization and a vendor or more as counsel to an organization if they feel they are being mislead by a vendor.
• We can help to disentangle a program or project from a vendor if it has become necessary to completely remove a vendor.
