• Symptoms to watch for: Pattern of late deliverables; lack of awareness of schedule and status.
• Potential root cause: Schedules based on business ('top down') need rather than team-generated ('bottom up').
• Leading indicators: Earned value - schedule performance index (SPI).
• Mitigations: 'Bottom up' planning; monitor effort and schedule; engage earned value for monitoring, control as needed.

• Symptoms to watch for: Development staff cannot keep up with requirements changes.
• Potential root cause: Requirements change not well-managed.
• Leading indicators: Requirements change rate.
• Mitigations: Plan for change (employ a requirements/change control process); don't start development until there is a stable set of requirements.

• Symptoms to watch for: High project staff turnover; frequent staff reassignments; poor work environment; low productivity; staff lacks necessary skills and experience; and key role(s) are vacant.
• Potential root cause: Lack of motivating work environment; poor management of project prioritization; lack of experience with work needed on project.
• Leading indicators: Project staff turnover compared with historical trend; productivity; project team does not have an appropriate understanding of the requirements and project status.
• Mitigation: Monitor, manage, and control issues and risks; status reporting; external (peer) assessment of project plans.

• Symptoms to watch for: High test defect counts; significant rework.
• Potential root cause: Focus on schedule rather than quality.
• Leading indicators: Test inspection yield; test defect density; defect discovery and closure rates/profiles.
• Mitigation: Create a development quality plan that focuses on inspection rather than (only) test; measure and track against quality plan; cultivate a focus on software quality.

• Symptoms to watch for: Low productivity.
• Potential root cause: Technical complexity; development environment changes; under-achievement.
• Leading indicators: Earned value - cost performance index (CPI).
• Mitigation: Engaged earned value, control as needed.
