Project management crisis management basics

Several well managed projects or relatively simple projects go awry for variety of reasons. Some of these could be because of factors that are out of control of a project manager. In these situations the project team needs leadership to stay focused and get back on-track. If the project manager gets frustrated and stressed in these situations, it has a direct impact on the team. This is where leadership is required. In these situations when the project manager stays calm and looks at the situation objectively, the path for forward progress can be identified and successfully navigated. This may take some time however, a focused yet calm demeanor of the project manager will have a positive impact on the team. The team will get direction, and know that it is being supported. If a resource crunch is experienced, either the work will be limited to the resources available or resource augmentation would need to be made.
