Symptoms of project deterioration
1. The project has a very slow start.
2. The design, engineering packages and procurement are behind schedule.
3. Subcontracts are being assigned late and work is falling behind schedule.
4. The owner-supply information is inaccurate and/or arriving late.
5. There are numerous changes to the specification.
6. The contractual payments are not arriving on time.
7. Considerable changes are requested by client late in the project.
Check the Perspective of Your Project
If you selected two signs:
The project is not really troubled, but the situation can deteriorate if parties to the countract do not follow good project/contract management practices.
If you selected three signs:
The project is beginning to deteriorate. The impact can be minimized by: reviewing procedures, paying attantion to details, reduce amount of changes and improved communication.
If you selected four signs:
The problems are real. Overruns of cost and schedule are almost certain and quality can be jeopardised. The impact can be minimized by adoption of proven project and contract management practices by both parties. Review the documentation, processes and ability of your team. The outside help of some sort may be required.
If you selected five signs:
Look for "the man in black" (well known, an all-around respected expert in the marine industry, project management, shipbuilding, contrat etc), first, to improve the deteriorating relationship between client and contractor, second, to identify the route for improvement, and third, to prepare for the potential Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
If you selected six signs:
You are facing litigation. Call in the team of experts. Leave it all to them. Suffer the consequences and pay the bills. You may also bring a change management agant to help you to introduce the required changes. Hope for good mediation results.
If you selected seven signs
The contract is collapsing. Litigation and arbitration are inevitable. The project's contract has to be modified otherwise may never get completed. Now only the experts will be able to sort out this calamity.
