¿Cómo se manejan los cambios inesperados en el cronograma de un proyecto?

Evaluating various options for mitigating the impact of the unexpected changes, determine the reasons for the change, its potential consequences, and how it affects project milestones, deadlines, and deliverables.

Why & What: The reasons & details of the change, e.g., to improve a feature / function, correct a quality issue, avoid a safety issue, cost reduction, organistion restructuring, etc (and this helps give much needed context for understanding the change impact) How Much: What impact will the change have, i.e., to scope, budget / resources, timing / deliveries, etc When: Timing requirements to implement, and how does that fit within the existnig schedule (i.e., on one extreme the change can be included in existing plans with no or very little effort whereas the other extreme requires a complete restart - plus all the inbetweens) Who & How: Who should lead the change, be involved, review / approve, etc, and how it should be implemented

1. Understand the change: What happened and how does it affect scope, budget, etc.? 2. Communicate clearly: Inform everyone involved, explain the impact, and address concerns. 3. Adjust the plan: Revise the timeline, prioritize tasks, and consider options like scope adjustment or extra resources. 4. Implement and monitor: Communicate the new plan, track progress, and be ready for further adjustments. 5. Learn and improve: Analyze the cause and update your risk management plan.

🌊 Assessing the impact of a change is like navigating a ship through turbulent waters. Consider how alterations ripple across project scope, budget, and quality, affecting timelines and resources. Gauge implications on customer satisfaction, team morale, and competitive edge, steering towards smoother sailing with effective documentation and visualization tools.

An unexpected change to a project's timeline implies that something unplanned has happened that either puts the project at risk, or creates extra opportunity. In my experience, changes to delay a project delivery are much rarer than changes to pull it forward. Adding team capacity during a project is hard and inefficient so it is worth considering delivering a smaller feature set at the primary release than trying to deliver everything faster. That usually requires shortcuts which adds risk of a failed delivery. Some ways you might we able to do it: - outsource some of the project (parallel development) - buy or license SW you were going to develop - negotiate feature reductions - if a new opportunity, just target what that requires

👉 In addition to addressing feedback, consider providing resources for further clarification, such as FAQs or documentation. Offering support channels, like dedicated email addresses or hotline numbers, can also facilitate smoother transitions. It's crucial to emphasize transparency and openness throughout the process to maintain trust and mitigate resistance. Lastly, reiterate the ultimate benefits of the change to reassure stakeholders of its value.

Bei unerwarteten Änderungen am Zeitplan eines Projekts ist es essenziell, dass die Änderungen schnell und klar kommuniziert werden. Das Projektteam und alle Stakeholder müssen umgehend informiert werden, um Transparenz zu gewährleisten und für ein gemeinsames Verständnis der Situation zu sorgen. Diese offene Kommunikation hilft, Missverständnisse zu vermeiden und ermöglicht eine effektive Anpassung der weiteren Schritte und Strategien, um die Projektziele dennoch zu erreichen.

Communicate each change fast and openly. If you try to sit through problems ignoring them they will always grow and bite back.

Communicating the change to all the internal and external stakeholders. Ensure that they are also aware about the potential risks and impact

A plan should always be a draft or a work in progress and should be changed iteratively according to circumstances. Use the tools you know best the craftsman is behind is always more important than the tool.

Re estimation of the schedule and manpower. Changes in RACI, risk register, PMHB etc Doing a swot based on new objectives also required

Tracking is also essential. Jira is a good tool for tracking. Dashboards , metrices, status reports are also useful in the tracking

Any want diagram is obsolete the moment you hit the save button. Iterate, iterate, iterate ... and than redo the whole thing.

I don't like the title, changes should never be unexpected. The only thing that I expect in every project are changes of circumstances. Your job as leader is to handle them.

Ideally changes shouldn’t be unexpected but here’s what we can do if that happens - 1. Communicate openly with stakeholders about the changes. 2. Re-assess project priorities and critical tasks. 3. Adjust deadlines if feasible and reset expectations. 4. Reallocate resources as necessary to accommodate the new timeline. 5. Create a revised project plan that reflects the updated timeline and tasks. 6. Provide regular updates and progress reports to stakeholders.

Change is inevitable in today's dynamic world. It is important to change the way you manage projects. Shift to agile project management approach to improve adaptability to change
