I agree with everyone stated above that the project team should be open to communicating on a consistent basis. Communication is key because any issues that arise or may arise can be solved or addressed during meeting times instead of having it come up later towards the due date. I also agree with my colleagues that the project schedule should be pushed back even though upper management might disagree however a good case for that would be a better end result instead of having butchered results. However, sometimes that isn’t the case and the project will still need to get done without extensions. Communication, in this case, would help to allocate best the most priority tasks and resources to those tasks in order to complete the project. Projects may need to be rushed if let’s say an equipment/process is running at risk which would definitely need to get done immediately as it is a potential violation.
