You are the PM managing a project in which, during project execution, some tasks actually take longer than planned, some go over the planned budget, and the occasional task takes less time than planned. What's more, some of each of these changed tasks are on the critical path and some are not. Due to astute monitoring, you, as PM, have noticed these changes from the plan.
Now, answer the following questions:
a) What would have happened if you had not been monitoring the status of the project?
b) Suppose that it is crucial that the project complete on time at all costs (e.g., a Mars mission launch window, which, if delayed, will cause the rocket to miss Mars entirely, and for which there is not another launch window for the next 3 years). However, with such a critical project, suppose that changes in actual performance occurred which greatly affected the duration of the project. What could you do about it?
c) Would taking these remedial actions depend on when you detected the changes? That is, do they require knowing in advance that there is going to be a slippage or speed-up of a task, or not?
d) What else should you do during project execution if such changes made a large change in project duration if there was nothing you could do to remediate it?
e) What else should you do during project execution if such changes made a large change in project duration if you could successfully remediate it?

a. The project could be out of control.
b) That mean that I have to focus on the team; I'll need to validate if those resources are the needed of we need to train/replace them. Also check if adding more resources with more seniority could make us reach the deadline.
c) It's preferible to have this information in advance, but in real live there're situations you can't prevent. I will prefer always prepare my team for changes.
d) If the impact moves our deadline in a big way, then there's no choice. Lets wait for the next window. If the impact moves the deadline for a short period of time, maybe cutting out minor functionality or requirements could lead us to have the product ready for launch
e) Acquire commitment of the team is a task of the PM. Working late hours or weekends is always an option. Extra hours should be compensated due economically or in other way to the team.
