The team is halfway through the project when you receive word that the chief medical officer (CMO) plans to retire in a month. You are concerned about the project because the CMO was a strong supporter of the hospital-wide disclosure policy. According to your Gantt chart, it will be 2 months before the project is ready for presentation to the full medical staff. The CMO was a trusted member of the medical staff who had a high authority and credibility level. What steps will you take to ensure that the project continues to progress toward completion? How will you identify additional individuals who can help guide this project toward completion?
