Give citations:

A parachuted(you are) into a failing project (10 senior and junior developers in the team, flat hierarchy). There are issues:

  1. Team members aren't getting along with each other
  2. Senior developers are mostly focusing on development and no adequate quality assurance (QA) is done
  3. There are often conflicts about the project design decisions too.

As a result, the project suffers significant delays, customer satisfaction is low, the team morale is low and it is gradually losing motivation to finish the work

As a project manager, the following action options are:

  1. Bring in external and more experienced QA people or promote promising junior members to those roles.
  2. Bring in external and more experienced solution architects or promote senior high performers to tech leadership roles.
  3. Consider bringing more junior people to do less work.
  4. Pick an action option from the list above or suggest your own to turn the project around. Explain your choice.
  5. Define a plan for the implementation of the option
  6. Critically discuss:
    1. Issues in implementing the plan (what could go wrong?)
    2. Potential benefits (what is in it for you and the organization?)

NOTE:

  • Regarding the options above, you are NOT limited to choosing one (1) option.
  • Practically speaking, you need to list a turn-around Recovery Plan, which consists of a combination of options due to the multiple issues with this project.
  • However, you must justify the option(s) that you select.
