During a project status review, a project manager realizes that the tasks are running behind the original timelines. Given the importance of aligning with previously successful projects' benchmarks, which of the following actions would be BEST to perform next?
Apply pressure to the team to speed up the work without revising any schedules.
Conduct an immediate team meeting to discuss delays.
Introduce longer working hours to catch up with the delay.
Revise the project schedule including adjustments based on historical data from similar past projects.
Using historical data and benchmarks from similar past projects allows for realistic adjustments and anticipatory actions. Comparatively, introducing minor schedule changes or rescheduling a few tasks without addressing broader historical insights might temporarily solve delays but fail to provide a sustainable solution considering past benchmarks and trends. Therefore, revisiting the entire project schedule to incorporate insights from similar past projects is vital for long-term success and alignment.
