2. 1. Unpaid invoices.
Unpaid bills are one clue that there may be
some problems or client satisfaction difficulties
on your project. While these might just be
client errors or sluggish processing, they could
also indicate that they are delaying payment
because of delivery or quality issues.

3. 2. Project budget over by more than 10 percent.
The project manager who fails to keep track of the project
budget will be in for a rude awakening down the road.
More than 10% is a red signal that requires quick care or it
will continue to travel in the wrong direction. Find out
what's causing it to travel in that way right now.

4. 3. Missed deadlines on consecutive project
deliverables.
If a project consistently misses critical delivery deadlines,
it's an indication that the project timeline is unrealistic, the
team is underperforming, or one or more team members
are not dedicated enough to the project.

5. 4. Customer unavailable for multiple
status meetings.
You must have access to your consumer for
information and decision-making. You'll need
the client to be available for weekly status
calls, scope talks, and explanations of needs.

6. 5. The CEO starts asking questions about the
project.
If you've gotten to this point and haven't realised there's a
problem, you may be in denial or have your head buried in
the sand. Hey! The CEO normally only makes house calls if
the project client is phoning to complain, unless your
project pays his salary.
