How to Rescue Projects

Abdul Rauf Parker has written a free guide called "How to Rescue Projects".

  • The business objectives were unrealistic.
  • The project scope was not well defined or agreed to.
  • The underlying technologies were not mature enough.
  • Effective project management practices were not followed.
  • Appropriate resources were not available or assigned to the project.
