Q: let's say something in a project is not necessarily bad but it's just not working b/c it slowly started going the wrong direction ~ how do you decide how far back to go correct it, esp. if you can't really imagine another way that it could have gone
A: that is a tough situation, and that's why it's usually important to avoid this by moving a little quicker. when it gets to the situation you described, the best thing is just to get out of it as fast as possible, and often your only viable choice is to respect the earliest and first options
