If you can not identify the problems, ask for help .. your company can send in a specialised  Manager to identifying the root cause of the problem and to assist with solving the problem(s); He/she make changes in the organization (they way buisness is handled on a daily bases). Show the client within3 month that there is progress, follow the advise given and continue the progress which has been made.

The down side of this is if you can not keep the progress going and the client is unhappy it will be the end of your job.

Dear Salauddin,

 

Effective Communication is the key, arrange a meeting get to know all the concerns of the sponsor. Then realign your project strategy, perform RCA, iron out the issues / conflicts.  PM should be the torch bearer for the project team & whats gone wrong in the past should be immediately contained and the teams wrong practices be stopped before the project goes astray.

Regards,

 

SAAA.
