Project Recovery Consulting

Projects rarely implode overnight. Warning signs pile up: missed handoffs, unclear ownership, mounting change requests. Our recovery engagements compress months of remediation into a sharp, evidence-based turnaround.

When to trigger a recovery sprint

• Deadlines have slipped twice and you still cannot name the critical path.
• Budget burn keeps rising but progress reports remain vague.
• Key stakeholders disengage because updates feel repetitive or defensive.
• The supplier blames scope while your team blames capability—truth sits somewhere in between.

48-hour triage

Recovery roadmap

1. Stabilise – Freeze scope creep, confirm governance cadence, introduce daily risk log.
2. Replan – Re-baseline milestones, align on MVP vs. stretch goals, adjust resource allocations.
3. Mobilise – Launch tiger teams on critical defects, accelerate decision loops, secure leadership support.
4. Sustain – Establish scorecard, transition plan, and knowledge handover to internal owner.

Governance after the reset

• Weekly executive huddle with status, decisions, and top risks.
• Fortnightly benefits review to confirm the project still supports strategic goals.
• Transparent dashboard shared with all stakeholders, updated twice a week.
• Final retrospective capturing lessons and contract tweaks for future engagements.

Within the first week you regain clarity; within a month the project runs to a disciplined rhythm the whole team can trust.
