Project Management

challenges:

The substantial reduction in the number and scope of the project's activities in a rapid redesign process in the absence of the design's original author, while maintaining almost the same results framework, led to a distortion in the logic of the project's strategies and structures and reduced the clarity of the path of the project and what it was trying to achieve. In turn, this led many stakeholders to view the project as being 'overly ambitious' with some not fully understanding what the project was trying to achieve.

success:

N/A

context:

No specific context or related preconditions. The lesson applies to all ILO projects globally.

description:

The rapid redesign process that took place right before implementation, in the absence of the design's original author, substantially reduced the scope of the project while maintaining almost the same results framework, thereby distorting the original logic and coherence of the project design, and leading to an 'over ambitious' project that lacked clarity. Any redesign process that distorts the integrity of the design's logic and coherence should be avoided in future projects.

administrative_issues:

The redesign was made in response to the donor's decision to finance only half of the requested funding.
