Keep Your Project on Track
* Use the end to recover. Look at the long-term plan. Find places later in the schedule where you can make up for lost time.
* Narrow the scope. Focus on the true goal. Eliminate nonessential elements to reduce cost and save time.
* Renegotiate with stakeholders. Explore alternatives. Discuss the possibility of increasing the budget or extending deadlines to keep the project on track.
