Abstract Before the countless, money-wasting, reputation-busting projects of the world were failed projects, they were troubled projects. This podcast examines the complex, high-stress period of assessment and recovery of such projects and offers five crucial steps for their successful recovery. The steps are presented from the perspective of the recovery project manager (RPM), assigned from outside to rein in a project, but they are applicable to project managers practising "self recovery" as well.
