Unsure How to Start
(or Continue)

Brainstorming
Abandoning current product design
Cost estimating project
Honing rough ideas into feasible idea given realistic resources (time, people, money, technology, etc.)
Continuing with current product design (e.g., adding features, new version)
Branching into new products
Transitioning from one project stage to another
Others...

In Emergency Mode

Nothing to show after spending significant resources (e.g., investors' money)
Sudden change or addition to current product, product line, or project direction
Limitations of resources prevent meeting goals
- Time (e.g., suddenly shortened schedule, only X months left in original schedule)
- People (e.g., not enough, revolving door, stuck with somebody who lacks appropriate characteristics)
- Money (e.g., investment money nearly depleted, not enough money known in advance)

Scheduling does not accurately reflect estimates or actuals
Too-much or too-rigid process. Need it to be faster; more lean, flexible, dynamic, responsive, agile-like
Team members don't know what processes to follow, or don't follow the process even if they know it
Team works in silos (e.g., software vs. hardware, or one software module vs. other software module)
There is no--or no good--process
