If you have found this page you are likely worrying about how to rescue a project that is floundering, or wondering if a project you manage is caught in rough seas yet still within sight of shore. In either case, iTech4Web can help you!

Is My Project in Trouble?

A troubled project is sometimes hard to distinguish from one that is experiencing temporary difficulty. However, if project tasks consistently fall behind schedule, if costs are growing, or if the team seems disengaged or demoralized, then a rescue effort is warranted. Since a typical mistake project owners and managers make is being slow to act, getting an outside perspective to help rescue a troubled project in the early stages of decline is key to ultimate project success.

The most common calls for rescue that we respond to include poor integration, disappointing performance, and optimistic developers who over-promise on their ability and/or availability. The root cause of a troubled project is often the lack of a proper solution design from the outset leading to a string of iterations and redesigns, adding cost and delay. Without a project rescue expert like iTech4Web, the project owner is often ready to abort the project out of frustration and even unsure whether the original idea was a good one in the first place.

A Recovery Plan is Key

Our process for troubled project recovery includes a careful assessment of the original project aims and scope to determine a root cause as well as a comprehensive audit of any relevant new or existing code. This often turns up an actionable list with broken images, 404 pages, security problems, and other integration issues. Our thorough assessment often leads to seemingly unrelated but actionable observations: for example, a better understanding of our clients’ hosting needs has helped save significant sums once they understand they are buying more than they need.
