A milestone isn\u2019t met, a work package takes significantly longer than planned, or the same errors keep cropping up. In many projects, people react quickly in such situations. Additional meetings are scheduled, tasks are reprioritized, or more resources are allocated. The problem seems to be solved at first, but resurfaces shortly thereafter.
