CIO magazine presents warning signs for identifying troubled projects:
- Project team lacks substantial buy-in and interest in the project’s success
- Poor communication between stakeholders and project team members
- Few interim deliverables, so tangible progress is not demonstrated
- Bad news isn’t allowed to be shared, meaning denial is pervasive
- Project team works lots of overtime, suggesting the schedule is slipping
- Project resources are frequently diverted to other activities
- Interim milestones are often missed
- Reducing project scope is viewed as an acceptable means to meet budget and schedule requirements
