Project Triage & Stabilization Planning

I help triage troubled projects and create stabilization plans – quickly assessing what's wrong, prioritizing fixes, and creating actionable plans to get projects back on track.

The Approach

What I Address

Troubled projects without proper triage and stabilization planning face continued decline, missed priorities, and wasted resources that make recovery difficult or impossible.

Without systematic assessment, teams struggle to identify root causes, prioritize fixes, and create actionable plans, leading to reactive responses that don't address underlying issues.

How I Work

I conduct project triage and stabilization planning that quickly assesses and plans recovery:

  • Assess project status and identify critical issues
  • Evaluate root causes and contributing factors
  • Review priorities and create stabilization roadmap

The Value

Outcomes

  • Clear understanding of project issues and root causes
  • Prioritized stabilization plan with immediate actions
  • Quick wins identified to restore momentum
  • Framework for ongoing project recovery
  • Confidence in stabilization approach and recovery path

Deliverables

  • Project triage assessment report
  • Root cause analysis and issue identification
  • Stabilization plan with prioritized actions
  • Quick wins and immediate action items
  • Risk assessment and blocker analysis
  • Follow-up consultation on stabilization execution

The Fit

Who This Is For

Founders with projects in trouble, engineering teams facing project crises, CTOs stabilizing failing initiatives, and product teams needing project recovery.

This applies to projects experiencing significant issues, initiatives behind schedule or over budget, products facing technical challenges, or teams needing crisis intervention.

Ideal timing includes when projects are struggling, during project crises, when facing critical blockers, when projects need recovery, or as part of emergency project assessment.

Why Project Triage & Stabilization Matters

When projects are in trouble, quick assessment and clear planning are essential. Without systematic triage, teams waste time on wrong priorities, miss critical issues, and projects continue to spiral. Expert triage helps you quickly understand what's wrong and create actionable plans to stabilize and recover.
