Your starting point
For leaders and project owners who want to regain control of an initiative already underway.
Adding a feature or changing a tool can leave the real blocker untouched. Compare what was expected, what actually works and which decisions have not yet been made.
How to move forward
Reconstruct the context
Gather objectives, commitments, available work and user feedback. Build a shared understanding without confusing initial assumptions with verified evidence.
Isolate the blocker
Examine dependencies, quality criteria, access and responsibilities. Identify the smallest test or decision that can reduce the main uncertainty.
Choose a realistic recovery path
Compare continuing, narrowing scope, further preparation or stopping. Assign the selected actions and define what will allow the situation to be reassessed.
Agree before starting
- A distinction between facts and assumptions.
- A blocker expressed in concrete terms.
- A decision with conditions for review.
Your questions
Do we need to start again?
Not necessarily. Reusable elements are reviewed before a next step is proposed. The decision considers existing work and remaining constraints.
Can the current provider take part?
Yes. Their technical context and commitments help explain the situation. The discussion format and participants are agreed with you.
What should we share initially?
The project goal, current status and perceived blocker are enough to begin. Detailed documents and sharing conditions can be discussed afterwards.
