Project recovery: early warning signs

Projects rarely fail suddenly. The warning signs accumulate well before formal escalation.

Watch for unstable scope, recurring milestone movement, optimistic schedules, unresolved dependencies, weak decision cadence, unclear ownership, inconsistent status reporting and operational teams that are not prepared for handover. A recovery assessment should establish the factual baseline before resetting commitments.

Control 21 perspective

The practical question is not whether the concept is fashionable, but whether it improves decisions, delivery or operations. Control 21 approaches the topic through governance, implementation and measurable operating outcomes.
