This large, high profile government naval project was a four-year, 200 million dollar project that was neither on time nor on budget. Our client brought us in to undertake an in-depth audit to uncover root causes of their problems and provide recommendations to get the project back on track. We worked with both the core and extended project teams in its early project development. There were approximately 300 resources assigned to work on this project and we met with all of them. We discovered that the project plan lacked sufficient detail and so we worked with the project team to correct this problem. With our guidance, within 6 months, the project team revised the project plan to incorporate the necessary 35,000 tasks, and included all the interdependencies as well as task durations and resource allocations to meet the project deadline. They clearly identified all milestones and by the end of that year the project was back on track.
