Task force management for project recovery

Deadlines are not met or product requirements cannot be realized – unfortunately not a rare scenario in companies. The solution quickly becomes “task force” or “let’s make it agile” – two opposing project management approaches that can be very close to each other in challenging situations. External support such as Rocksolid’s task force management helps to expand the scope for solutions and to critically question a “that won’t work” approach so that teams can focus on the essentials again.

What is task force management?

Task force management refers to the effective organization and coordination of a special working group, the so-called task force, to solve specific tasks or problems. This team is often set up to respond to crises or urgent requirements to achieve objectives. In the context of project recovery, a task force may be assigned to get an endangered project back on track and take the necessary measures for successful completion.

Task force management in our projects

Project planning

We then create a realistic and integrated detailed schedule and coordinate it with the parties involved. To do this, we also determine the premises according to which we prioritize and how we want to overcome any blocking points that arise in the future.

Quick Scan

At the beginning of the project recovery, we create transparency for and about all those involved: we determine the status quo, familiarize ourselves with the project goals and review the current project organization, processes, previous project successes and difficulties. In doing so, we involve those affected – both bottom-up and top-down.

Realisation/Monitoring

The key to effective project management is constant monitoring: project progress is tracked continuously. The transparency achieved in this way enables risks to be identified at an early stage. In this way, a continuous improvement process can be initiated and we ensure that the project is successful in the long term.

Project structure

In alignment with the project team, we implement a lean and functional project structure – we focus on the essentials, but do it right. It is important that decisions are made quickly and measures can be implemented fast to get the project back on track.

Inquire about Task-Force-Management
A task force is a temporary working group that is put together specifically for a particular task or problem. It consists of experts and specialists who pool their skills and resources to achieve a specific goal. Task forces are often used in crisis situations or for projects that have run into difficulties in order to find quick and effective solutions.
A task force manager is responsible for organizing and leading a task force. This group is typically put together to solve urgent problems or get critical projects back on track. The manager coordinates the team members, plans actions and ensures that the objectives of the task force are achieved. This is usually done in a directive management approach. Rocksolid provides experienced task force managers or supports the existing project manager methodically and operationally.
Rocksolid uses agile as well as classic project management methods – also or especially in task force management. In this way, the most efficient set-up is applied to the project objectives and organization and at the same time the customer’s employees are trained in project management. The result: more flexibility with higher implementation speed.
