As we begin to dig deeper into the troubled project<\/strong> and work breakdown structure<\/strong> has been established, we begin to interview the stakeholders of the project.\u00a0 One of the general questions one asks, is what do you believe are the issues, what went wrong?\u00a0 Human nature as it is, these stakeholders tend to be cautions and careful with their contributions. \u00a0Rarely do I hear one volunteer or is his or her organization the source for the incongruities.\u00a0 A cautious approach continues as the interview process progresses further.<\/p>\n
So, you ask what we do with this natural reaction?\u00a0 The reality is that the project was or is in trouble.\u00a0 Basic issues are acknowledged.\u00a0\u00a0 As a research analyst for McLaughlin and McLaughlin<\/a><\/strong>, I become a bookworm.\u00a0 I read all Monthly Progress Reports, Meeting Minutes and any other exchange where both parties (typically owner and contractor) are acknowledged.\u00a0 Well written Monthly Progress Reports and Meeting Minutes many times expose the issues and concerns usually providing the key dates when addressed.\u00a0 Additionally the leading and supporting roles to the project are noted on the report.<\/p>\n
At least half of the preconceived notions on projects M&M <\/a><\/strong>researched of\u201d what went wrong\u201d were not totally correct or are completely wrong.\u00a0 The issues were what they were but the underlying reasons were often not identified properly.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that McLaughlin and McLaughlin [M&M]<\/a><\/strong> is not a law firm and is not intending to provide legal advice.\u00a0 M&M<\/a><\/strong> is a consulting firm providing (among other services) non-legal expertise in dispute resolution and litigation support.\u00a0 The Resource Center<\/a><\/strong> is for the convenience of blog visitors and M&M<\/a><\/strong> does not offer this for commercial purposes.\u00a0 For further information on M&M<\/a><\/strong> services, please see<\/em> <\/em>www.McLaughlinandMcLaughlin.com<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
