Best practices for picking up the pieces when projects fail
There are plenty of books available offering best practices that help you keep your projects on track, but offer guidance on what to do when the worst has already happened. Some studies show that more than half of all large-scale project fail either fail completely, or at least miss targeted budget and scheduling goals. These failures cost organizations time, money, and labor.

Project Recovery offers wise guidance and real-world best practices for saving failed projects and recovering as much value as possible from the wreckage. Since failing project cannot be managed using the same lifecycle phases employed with succeeding projects, most project management professionals are unprepared to tackle the challenge of project recovery. This book presents valuable case studies and a recovery project lifecycle to help project managers identify and respond effectively to a troubled project.

项目失败时收拾残局的最佳实践
有很多书提供了最佳实践，可以帮助你保持项目的正常进行，但是在最坏的情况已经发生的时候提供了指导。一些研究表明，超过一半的大型项目要么完全失败，要么至少没有达到预定的预算和进度目标。这些失败耗费了组织的时间、金钱和人力。
项目恢复提供了明智的指导和现实世界中的最佳实践，以挽救失败的项目，并尽可能多地从废墟中恢复价值。由于失败的项目无法使用与后续项目相同的生命周期阶段进行管理，因此大多数项目管理专业人员都没有准备好应对项目恢复的挑战。这本书提出了宝贵的案例研究和恢复项目生命周期，以帮助项目经理识别和有效地应对一个有问题的项目。
