5. Excellent Choice; you are still here!

You may need to assess any of a number of areas that can be adding
to the problems on the project.

6.  Personnel
 Requirements
 Use Cases
 Test Plans
 Budget
 Schedule
 Vendor
 Status Reports
 Change Management
 Technology
 Infrastructure
 Technical Specs
 Communication
 External View
 Executives
Working through this list is, indeed, a tremendous
amount of work – So what's the next step?

7. Two key components of SUCCESS:
Requirements
Communication

10. Requirements are Two Things Only
The Fundamental building blocks
– for the deliverables from the Project Team.
The Definition of success
– for your enterprise strategic IT Project.

12.  Therefore: Solving communication issues can
be the greatest obstacle in a project.
 In a project turnaround, sides or cliques may
be established and communication may be
non-existent between the client and the
vendors.
 And authentic communication between all
groups will lead to the ability to
collaboratively resolve all issues, which leads
to a successful project.

14. Budget
Schedule
Scope
Quality
And your Project can start to move back on track.
