1 Analyze your project plan

In order to identify issues that cause delays or missed deadlines, it is important to review your project plan and compare it with the actual progress and results. Look for any gaps, discrepancies, or deviations from the original scope, schedule, budget, and quality standards. Ask yourself if you set realistic and achievable goals and milestones, allocated enough time and resources for each task and phase, communicated clearly and frequently with your team and stakeholders, anticipated and mitigated any potential risks or challenges, and monitored and controlled the project performance and quality. If there are weaknesses or errors in the project plan, you need to revise it and update it accordingly. Additionally, you must communicate any changes or adjustments to your team and stakeholders to ensure they are aligned with the new plan.

In ensuring timely deliveries, I prioritize open communication channels. Regular check-ins and team feedback sessions provide valuable insights into potential delays. By fostering a culture where team members feel comfortable flagging challenges, we proactively identify issues. Embracing a positive approach, we view setbacks as learning opportunities, continuously refining our processes for smoother project timelines.

Primeiramente temos que avaliar a viabilidade de conclus?o do projeto no prazo. Costumo ver diversos líderes propondo prazos e metas simplesmente inatingíveis, pois existem diversas variantes que n?o foram analisadas previamente na elabora??o do cronograma. Uma forma de se calcular o prazo de realiza??o é pela quantidade de horas estimadas, tempo para se obter informa??es, versus o número de pessoas envolvidas, lembrando de considerar o nível de conhecimento da equipe no projeto, além é claro de providenciar os recursos necessários, equipamentos e sistemas. Segunda fase é, uma vez elaborado um cronograma de atividades, torna-se necessário manter um controle efetivo da evolu??o do projeto, propondo ajustes ao longo da execu??o.

You need to have a good and working communication system in place and clear and easy to understand chain of command so in the case that anything happens and there’s usually some unexpected event anyone can help get the right person or to make a timely decision and and get right back on track, that list or chain of command should be visible and easy to reach for everyone to fallow up

2 Seek feedback from your team

The second step to identify issues that cause delays or missed deadlines is to solicit feedback from your team members. They are the ones closest to the project execution and may have valuable insights and suggestions on how to improve the process and outcomes. To gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives and needs, ask them about their roles and responsibilities, the main challenges they face, how they collaborate and communicate with each other and with you, what best practices or lessons learned they can share, and how you can better support them or remove any obstacles. By listening to your team members, you can not only identify any issues that may affect their motivation, productivity, or quality of work but also foster a culture of trust, openness, and feedback that encourages them to share their concerns and ideas with you and each other.

A equipe sempre nos traz informa??es muito úteis sobre o andamento das execu??es das atividades. Claro que muitas vezes devemos filtrar as lamúrias e reclama??es sem fundamentos, dos apelos reais, das verdadeiras necessidades. Durante a execu??o de projetos inovadores podem surgir situa??es jamais imaginadas, e a equipe é a nossa linha de frente para nos informar dos entrevas que surgem, e sugerindo as mudan?as necessárias, assim podemos avaliar quais as novas posturas e abordagens ser?o adotadas, valiando os impactos no prazo de entrega. Por isso uma comunica??o franca e direta é fundamental para a conclus?o das atividades, ou revis?o de projeto.

You and your team have to be All in the same page and you need to asuré them that it is there project and make sure they can handle iit , that they are in good understanding of the milestones and timeline of the project and the best best way is by getting feedback from them but also letting them know that they are not working alone by giving them feedback back off their progress. Feedback is essential to not let the project get derailed by any eventuality that comes along the way

3 Review your processes and tools

The third step to identify issues that cause delays or missed deadlines is to evaluate the methods, standards, procedures, systems, and software you use to manage and execute the project. Ask yourself if these processes and tools are aligned with the project objectives and requirements, efficient, effective, flexible, consistent, transparent, documented, easy to use and accessible to your team and stakeholders, and updated and improved regularly. If there are any gaps or flaws in your processes and tools, you need to optimize them and ensure that they support your project goals and activities. Additionally, you should train your team and stakeholders on how to use them properly and consistently while also seeking their feedback on how to enhance them further.

Os gargalos s?o os maiores entraves para a conclus?o de qualquer projeto. A cria??o de cronograma com micro tarefas, auxilia na avalia??o das interferências que possam gerar atrasos nas entregas, isso permite um acompanhamento mais próximo dos prazos, possibilitando mudan?as mais ágeis. Reuni?es periódicas para revis?o do andamento das atividades, s?o também fundamentais.

Mistakes are unavoidable, but they can also be beneficial opportunities for growth and improvement. Consider the main causes and consequences of the delays or missed deadlines, as well as the actions and decisions that led to them. Additionally, think about the corrective and preventive measures taken to address the issues, and reflect on the results and outcomes of these measures. Finally, determine the key takeaways and recommendations from the experience. By evaluating your mistakes, you can identify the root causes of delays or missed deadlines, discover the best solutions to avoid or minimize them in the future, document your findings, and share them with your team and stakeholders. Furthermore, you can incorporate them into your project plans and processes.

A experiência nos auxilia em sermos melhores. Os erros nos ajuda na constru??o de novas ideias, ou na revis?o dos projetos. O importante é n?o deixar que os erros nos abatam. Devemos reavaliar quais os fatores geradores das falhas que ocasionaram os atrasos nas entregas, para que numa próxima oportunidade n?o ocorra novamente. Foi falta de comunica??o ou entrosamento da equipe? Falta de conhecimento técnico? Nestes casos, treinamentos de equaliza??o de conhecimento, ou trabalho em equipe e relacionamento, podem ser aplicados. Outros casos, como sistemas e equipamentos obsoletos, cabe uma análise or?amentária para a moderniza??o da estrutura disponível.

It’s very important to learn from your mistakes because most of the time they teach us the most yes you learn a lot from your mistakes because it’s real world learning and you should go back the whole process and study it so we don’t make the same mistakes again, it’s not that we welcome mistakes but they’re going to happen that’s why we should also study others peoples mistakes in the same subject and learn and since they are probably going to happen we should be able to to adjust and have all the precautions In place to get back on track a soon as possible but if we don’t learn from them then we are bound to do it again… so it’s verry important to learn from your mistakes and break the loop so we can move forward faster and more stable

5 Celebrate your successes

The fifth step to identify issues that cause delays or missed deadlines is to celebrate your successes and acknowledge the achievements and contributions of your team and stakeholders. Successes are not only the final outcomes, but also the intermediate milestones and deliverables that you complete along the way. Ask yourself what objectives were met or exceeded, what actions and decisions led to the successes, and what benefits and impacts were achieved by your team, project, and organization. Recognition and rewards should be given for these successes, as well as positive feedback and testimonials that can be collected and shared. Celebrating and recognizing these successes can boost morale, confidence, value, credibility, and build stronger relationships with stakeholders. This can ultimately motivate better performance and faster delivery.

Um último ponto importante quando vemos perda de prazos, é avaliar a motiva??o e o engajamento da equipe. Equipes desmotivadas, tendem a procrastinar os prazos, e cabe aos líderes avaliarem o clima organizacional, para tomar as medidas cabíveis. Nem sempre treinamento ajuda nesses casos. Há necessidade de compreender os motivos que geram essa desmotiva??o, às vezes é a nossa própria forma de liderar que gera esse sentimento de insatisfa??o nas equipes. Pense nisso!
