Project recovery is the structured process of identifying, diagnosing, and addressing issues in projects that are at risk of failing or have already gone off track. These issues can manifest as missed deadlines, budget overruns, scope creep, lack of stakeholder alignment, or inefficiencies in resource utilization. The goal of project recovery is to stabilize the project, realign it with strategic objectives, and guide it back on the path to successful completion. With Synergy3’s support, organizations can transform failing projects into success stories, restoring confidence, achieving strategic objectives, and creating a foundation for sustainable growth.
