When a team member misses key milestones, I address it proactively by first understanding the root cause. I have a one-on-one conversation to assess any blockers—workload issues, unclear expectations, or external dependencies. If needed, I adjust priorities, provide support, or clarify responsibilities to prevent recurrence. I reinforce accountability by aligning their tasks with overall project goals, ensuring they see their impact. Regular check-ins and progress tracking help catch issues early. Rather than assigning blame, I focus on solutions, fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement to keep the project on track.

I’d first have a one-on-one conversation to understand the root cause—whether it’s workload, unclear expectations, or personal challenges. Then, I’d work with them to set realistic goals, provide necessary support, and adjust timelines if needed. If the issue persists, I’d implement a structured improvement plan while ensuring accountability. Keeping open communication with the team and stakeholders helps prevent delays from snowballing and keeps the project on track.

My actions would be: 1. talk to my team member as a family member. 2. Understand his real problem whether it is a personal or an official 3. Stand by my team member to make a plan of actions to mitigate if it official. Address it immediately by supporting my team member to address and resolve if it is personal issue. 4. Extend moral support and suitable support in terms of additional technical or service manpower to meet his target. 5. I would motivate instead of demotivating to move forward so that he can achieve additional targets in coming month.

1. Identify the Root Cause : Speak with the team member to understand why the milestone was missed (workload, unclear tasks, personal issues). 2. Assess Impact : Determine how the delay affects the project timeline, budget, and stakeholders. 3. Develop a Recovery Plan – Reallocate resources, adjust deadlines, or provide additional support. 4. Increase Monitoring: Set up more frequent check-ins to track progress. 5. Improve Accountability : Clarify expectations, document responsibilities, and reinforce commitment. 6. Address Skills Gaps : Provide training or mentorship if needed. 7. Escalate if Necessary : Involve leadership if delays persist.
