    Hello Hruship101,

    This is a very good question. I would like to share my opinion over this.

    Missing a milestone is a failure of a project and it could be avoided by evaluating the overall/part of project. Utilizing a progression of standard inquiries ought to recognize the key issues and the seriousness of each one. This will enable you to organize venture recuperation arranging and movement with the goal that you handle the most significant issues in the first place, then work down the list. Amid the audit, you may discover a few territories where you can stop the bleeding – for example, if scope is unstable and everlastingly changing, the presentation of a strict change control process should at least help to firm up and stabilize the scope. After evaluation of the troubled project you may determine that there is no good business case for project recovery so we may need to cut our losses and move on rather than waste time and money on project recovery planning. In this case, of project failure, we need to plan euthanasia – let the project die as painlessly and with as much dignity as possible. A failing project needs the help of a well-trained project planning professional, also called a recovery Project Manager to minimize recovery time, cost, and residual damage if the project can be saved, or to recognize when euthanasia is the recommended option.*
