¿Qué hacer si tus plazos se te escapan?

yes conduct a honest assessment of the project status. Identify the issues and perform root cause analysis. Where they identified as risks? where they analyzed, probability and impact? Trigger the contingency plans. Collect factual data and rank the issues accordingly their status. Is it a blocker or, not? if not, rank them accordingly their severity, critical, non critical. If a complex schedule, work with project schedule professional he/she should be well trained to assess whatif scenarios and find a way to reduce the impact on the critical paths. Schedule a status meeting with the governance and expose the data.

If deadlines are slipping through the cracks, take these steps: assess the situation, prioritize tasks, communicate with stakeholders, adjust deadlines if necessary, identify solutions, break down tasks, improve time management, and delegate if possible.

Start by reassessing tasks and timelines, breaking them down into smaller takes and prioritising based on importance and ease of implementation. Start by focusing on the ones that are of high importance and easy to implement for quick wins. Ask for help by delegating where you can. Have regular progress review and adjust as needed. Communicate any delays early to stakeholders for buy-in and keep them in the loop on progress to course correct.

Over commitment and under performance leads to the situation of missing deadlines. It is crucial to assess these two aspects during the development of any project. If anything of the above is happening, then it is time to accept and work to mitigate falls as soon as possible.

Many times the project manager doesn't dictate which features or functions are essential for the product launch. They are "ordered" by the business, product owners. In such cases the project manager has to understand both ends, sponsor and supplier, to negotiate a win-win scenario and reorder tasks,

This is not really about prioritization of tasks but prioritization of needs. What is the most important thing that you need to have in production so you can extract more value. And value can be not only money but also more intangible things like learning if your product is going on the right direction. And also understand if the deadlines are trully hard deadlines (if something is going to happen or not happen if they are not met) or if they are make believe deadlines, i.e. deadlines that existed just because someone commited to them in a meeting. If that is the case then work with that person to understand what can be done to find a more reasonable deadline.

Prioritizing is everything - good decision making has everything to do with being better at prioritizing and keeping yourself and the team focused on accomplished set priorities. Don’t get distracted by “Opportunities” - be strict with your target and don’t compromise.

There must be some reason behind this, Sometimes we need to think about the product health also, so for managing such things if timeline extend then good for the product.

Having multiple tasks on the board overwhelms development as well as the product team. It is highly recommended to pick low-hanging-fruits to get a sense of achievement and completion of pending tasks and thus prioritizing tasks accordingly. Often it happens that we de-prioritize P2 tasks which could be done along with P0 and P1 which requires lesser work BUT we kept on pushing them for their priority structure and later on feels a re-work is required on previous tasks. In my perspective, Pick a module, complete P0 and P1, assess P2 and P3 and include them with overall deployment to avoid multiple turnaround for same module.

Don't be shy about addressing slipping deadlines. Proactive communication is key. Loop everyone involved in the project in on the delays and any adjustments to the timeline. This honesty helps manage expectations and allows you to brainstorm solutions together. By keeping the lines of communication open, you build trust and understanding, which are essential for overcoming project roadblocks.

Dead-line was set up , but then a real reason that the better answer take a better solution . A reason that is really happen , then dead line almost reached , but need time , and every efford has to be done as soon as possible

Raise your voice when it is critical. While you are missing on deadlines it affects not only tech but also business of the organization. Be vocal and verbal instead of waiting for a reply on Slack/Skype/Teams/Email.

Clear communication is very important, especially to all the stakeholders involved most especially team members, the project manager, the supervisor or the project lead and lastly the client. The reason why open communication is important is because it will help manage expectations, and foster trust and understanding. It will also it will help position you as a valuable team member.

Adjust your cadence. Sometimes we get caught up trying to ‘protect’ time of others, but if the outcome is worth the time, then create the time for collaboration. It might not be enough to meet for an hour a week for a working session and report out deliverables. Roll up your sleeves, carve out the appropriate time to accomplish the near-term objective and get it done! If the juice is worth the squeeze, and at this point it should be, bring the necessary parties together and solve the work to avoid future delays.

Be ready to take a step back and re-draw your strategy to move forward. Don't stick to a particular set of steps when you are already missing on to the deadlines.

Flex Flex and Flex ! If possible, negotiate extensions or renegotiate deadlines with stakeholders. Make sure any adjustments are realistic and achievable.

As for me, I dedicate more quality time to the project. I worked more hours and took fewer breaks to complete the project on time while communicating and making a slight adjustment to the completion date.

This has been my biggest learning. Often times asking for help is seen as "weakness" (and this is often a cultural make up). So sharing the problem transparently and asking for help is the first step. and I have seen help comes from various quarters, you had not imagined possible.

Bringing in extra teammates, consultants, or using productivity tools can all be lifesavers. It shows strength and initiative to take charge of the situation and find solutions, and can ultimately lead to better results by bringing in fresh perspectives.

As my first boss said- If something can't be done in 60 minutes, then ask for help. While we keep on acting on some set of ways to get things done, it is required to take an extra hand towards changing your perspective as well as to ship the project on time.

No one is perfect! If you're overwhelmed or struggling to meet deadlines due to workload or other factors, don't hesitate to seek support from colleagues, managers, or mentors.

There was a project for which the deadline was imminent, and because of the brevity of time, I had to outsource some features of the mobile app to another developer while I finished the other features. I was able to meet up because I sought help.

Use the experience of missed deadlines as an opportunity to learn and improve. Reflect on what went wrong and what you can do differently in the future to avoid similar situations.

Working to identify specific areas where time is lost or bottlenecks occur is definitely crucial. Look at recent sprints or phases where deadlines slipped. Analyse specific tasks that took longer than expected and explore why. This can give valuable insight. It could be anything from being too ambitious with estimates, knowledge gaps or blockers not being resolved in a timely fashion. Identifying this would help dictate what initiatives need to be put in place.

Are the right (technical) profiles included in planning project timelines or are the timelines being dictated by other factors?

Sometimes unexpected challenges arise that can derail even the best-laid plans. Stay flexible and be prepared to adapt as needed to keep projects moving forward.
