Many projects fail – costing millions. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
In complex projects, especially those involving innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, conventional project management is often not sufficient. What should be done when the worst-case scenario occurs? When crises escalate and suddenly everything is at stake? This book shows how to identify crisis projects at an early stage, confidently avoid them, and successfully overcome them – using proven methods from practical experience.
Benefit from the knowledge of an experienced crisis manager who has brought many projects back on track.
You will learn:
- How to recognize typical early warning signs of crises – technical, organizational, and psychological
- How to make risks objectively measurable and make well-founded decisions
- How active claim and requirements management can defuse crises in advance
- How to communicate clearly even in times of crisis and stabilize the project team
- How to purposefully involve the environment – customers, management, and the organization
