Turn failed projects around

Learn from high-profile case studies and get on the road to Project Recovery

In the real world, not all projects succeed. When a project has gone wrong, traditional project management techniques go out the window. But what constitutes "failure" in the first place? And what can be done about it? With nearly 50 years in project management, Dr. Harold Kerzner has the answers to these questions.

Drawing from the combined experience of the global business community, he has written this book in order to demystify the recovery process. Project Recovery uses high-profile case studies from the real world of business to illustrate the best and worst of crisis management. From the Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy to problems with Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, Project Recovery takes a microscope to well-known cases, detailing important takeaways for businesses large and small.

In this book, you'll learn how to identify troubled and failing projects by performing Project Health Checks and identifying the early warning signs of failure. Next comes identifying the root causes of the problem and selecting a Project Recovery Manager who can implement the phases of the Recovery Life Cycle. These state-of-the-art techniques are crucial for any business leader or consultant who is serious about knowing what to do when things go wrong.

Each chapter of Project Recovery includes a convenient summary of lessons learned, cross-referenced according to knowledge areas from the PMBOK(R) Guide --Fifth Edition. Worksheets and checklists make this easy-to-follow roadmap to recover from any kind of project struggle. It isn't always possible to avoid disaster. In fact, failures are extremely common in the business world, which is why a resource like Project Recovery is so important -- learn to turn project failures into opportunities for success.
