Manage failed tasks

During the schedule update process, the program manager or IPT lead reviews the current status of all completed tasks. If any of the completed tasks are marked as failed, you create new WBS work packages to recover. You then link the new work packages to the failed and missed scope work packages to ensure complete traceability. You then submit the new WBS work packages to the estimation and execution processes.

Procedure

1. Query for failed WBS work packages.

2. Open the program WBS and click Find in the results panel toolbar to search within the structure.

3. Select the Find Work Package query and then enter Failed in the Completion Status field.

   A list of all the failed WBS work packages is displayed.

4. Create recovery work packages, following the procedure for adding WBS elements to the WBS.

5. Link the recovery work packages to the failed work package.

6. Open the newly created recovery work package and check its Source property refers to the failed work package.

7. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the other failed work packages.
