There are many failures that happened along the way to get to this point. Taking on anything mid-way through has its learning curve. You need to understand where the project is at and what is remaining. If it's a tool or thought process then even more understanding needs to be done. The next step is to balance resources to finish tasks or to make the cut. Assets are typically developed in stages, so if a project is abandoned, the next stage will have to be completed by someone else. This will create strain in the pipeline and it may be a lesson learned for future projects. Some projects have buffers for this, and others desperately need to fill a knowledge drain when an expert leaves suddenly.

Hay que hacer una evaluación de lo realmente ejecutado hasta el momento para determinar con exactitud las actividades faltantes. Eso tambien debe ir acoompañado de verificar si el proyecto esta realmente en fase de detalles o aún falta por definir algún aspecto del proyecto. En caso de que el proyecto no este completo se deberá llegar a la fase de ingenieria de detalles para luego si poder asignar un recurso humano diferente y completar el proyecto. Es clave tener la definicion final del proyecto, porque los cambios constantes son los que desaniman a nuestros equipos a continuar con los proyectos, mientras que cuando existen objetivos claros los resultados siempres son mejores.

it's important to figure out why and find a solution. Have a one-on-one talk to understand the root cause, like personal issues, skill gaps, unclear expectations, or too much work. Offer training or mentorship if they lack skills or feel overwhelmed. If needed, give the remaining work to someone else or split it among other team members to keep progress going. Learn from this experience to improve future projects by adjusting management or communication strategies. Motivate the team by reminding them of the project's importance and show appreciation for their work. By dealing with the causes and fostering collaboration and support, you can keep the project moving forward and keep team members engaged and productive.
