1.)
From reading the situation it seems to be a lack of meaningful communication across the
stakeholders of the project leading to issues. This can be seen by how problems and concerns
from different groups of people are being responded to and handled. Secondly, there is the
issue of handling things in a timely manner. This can also stem from the poor communication
but also from being able to modify the software to meet the regulation of Georgia in a timely
manner. Thirdly, there is a lack of coordination and responsibility; as people complained that it
was unclear who was responsible for what and in turn would cause aspects of the project to not
be taken care of or not be handled properly.
2.)/3.)
To get this back on track I would call a meeting immediately to sort out the lack of effective
communication across the project as even if the other problems were solved this overarching
problem would hinder the project. Secondly, I would make an assignment matrix and more clear
WBS for the contractors and stakeholders to be able to see who is responsible for what and
what each package of work is made up of. Thirdly, I would stress the importance of completing
tasks on time and within the desired schedule since currently we are already behind and do not
want to fall further behind. Fourthly, I would have more frequent meetings like the
aforementioned one where we can be kept up to date on communication, the work that needs to
be done, who needs to do that work, and to see if any new issues arise as the project is
developed. And lastly, I might consider trying to get more funding and/or bring in more workers
to help regain some lost time that occurred during this communication disaster. Or could bring in
people to help oversee the communication between parties so this issue does not arise again.
