You're facing technical delays in project timelines. How can you effectively manage unexpected setbacks?

In my experience, it is nearly impossible not to encounter a last-minute situation when managing a project, the key is to be ready to deal with it. In my opinion, part of the role of a PM is to adapt a forecast approach where you evaluate all the activities in your project and categorize them from more to less feasible to be delayed; or if you wish, think of possible scenarios of "something going wrong" and possible solutions to that. Proactively knowing ways to address situations might save you sometime and hopefully end up not affecting your project timeline and deadlines. Of course it is imposible to be ready for all situations that may arise, but keeping this practice can help improving the way you tackle obstacles.

management skills and meeting the targets are essential. Operations is a bit technical, Stability is another issue though.

There are challenges It involves keeping all stakeholders informed about setbacks, updates on progress, and any changes in deadlines. This transparency helps manage expectations, fosters collaboration to address the issues, and maintains trust. Additionally, clear communication can facilitate the pooling of resources and ideas to find a faster resolution to the technical issues encountered in between.

The only helpful means is persistence in every move, once there is laxity the graph goes down and that's it. Reaching out to the public is another challenge! going extra mile in operation is the key to success

Ensure you have the right people and necessary experts involved in replanning. Allocate resources efficiently to catch up and get back on track. Monitor progress closely and make adjustments as needed

First and foremost, reach out to your direct supervisors and offer alternative solutions advising you are waiting on the IT team to resolve. Use apps to block your number if you need to communicate with clients via your personal cell phone. Offer hand written notes and drafts.

Setbacks in projects are not uncommon. Even the best prepared can face unexpected hurdles. If one (or multiple) were to occur, it's important to communicate to others the issue, the implications or changes to the work, and ultimately the changes to the overarching schedule. Be sure to update whatever project management tool you're using to document the changes. If the setback is significant, it may be worth scheduling a quick meeting with key stakeholders to manage expectations. Be sure to come prepared with all the information and steps to mitigate the setback.

Something I've seen and experienced in multiple enviroments is that, people not always have a learn and best practices culture until something goes wrong. In my opinion, lesson learning and best practices worshops need to happen more often in order to keep working towards efficiency and excellence or just to try out innovation from time to time. Sometimes, having a different approach and brainstorm can help improving processes and implementations in projects.
