Product & Project Recovery Specialist

Projects can drift off course for many reasons and delays can hit any organisation in all types of projects. Firstly, it's important to recognise when a project is failing. We are naturally optimistic about our abilities, but the longer a project goes astray the harder and more expensive it is to fix.

When to Call Me:

  • Your "Go-Live" date has shifted three times and morale is bottoming out.

  • The technical build has diverged so far from the business requirements that the product is no longer viable.

  • You have lost confidence in the current delivery trajectory and need an objective, senior-level intervention.

  • A complex implementation (like a global Monday.com rollout or ERP migration) has become a "digital junk drawer" that no one is using.

The Goal: I don't just "manage" the crisis; I resolve it. I move your team from a state of "damage control" back to a state of delivery.

The Recovery Framework:

  • Rapid Triage & Gap Analysis: I perform a high-velocity audit of the current state—identifying exactly where the misalignment exists between the business vision, the technical architecture, and the project roadmap.

  • Stakeholder Realignment: Often, projects fail due to communication breakdowns. I act as the neutral, expert interface between the C-Suite, Product, and Engineering to reset expectations and re-establish a shared definition of "Done."

  • Technical & Operational De-risking: I identify the "blockers"—whether they are architectural debt, vendor mismanagement, or resource gaps—and implement immediate tactical fixes to resume momentum.

  • Roadmap Refactoring: I strip away the "noise" and feature creep that often paralyzes failing projects, refocusing the team on a Minimum Viable Recovery (MVR) to get the product to market and start capturing value.

  • Governance Reset: I implement the reporting, transparency, and accountability structures needed to ensure that once the project is back on track, it stays there.

Secondly, take action. this might be painful and involve delivering some hard truths, but this message is only going to get harder as the project strays further from its goals.

I specialize in stepping into high-friction environments to stabilize failing initiatives and steer them back to a successful delivery.

If you're going to fail, fail fast.
