The project recovery plan is a road map by which the software project’s personnel will steer a project back on track. A well-designed project recovery plan takes project scheduling, scope of work, financial obligations, resource management, and site details into consideration — and then scales out, identifying possible points of failure in order to predict and mitigate risk. You can find out more about how to create a project recovery plan in the blog post “6 steps to project recovery” on PMI.org. Also, don’t forget to include a software project rescue team consisting of the best software developers and project managers if you think that external help is needed.
