Last episode, Frank Po**ck walked us through how projects go off the rails (Berlin Brandenburg, Fyre Festival, the 737 MAX) and the warning signs that get missed along the way. This episode picks up where that leaves off: what do you actually do once you're already inside the failure?

Susan Irwin was two weeks from a go-live date on a multimillion-dollar project when someone finally raised their hand and said "we're not ready." Her team had blown through five separate safety gates to get there. She walks through her real recovery playbook: sequestering the team into a war room, running dual communication channels through her sponsors, the "I know" vs. "I think" discipline for status updates, and why root cause analysis matters more than finding someone to blame. Also, her take on when project failure actually is the PM's fault, and when it isn't.

What can a failed project teach you that a successful one never will?

In the latest episode of , instructor Frank Po**ck joins us to discuss projects that unraveled despite the best intentions and hard work of their teams.

We discuss missed warning signs, leadership missteps, and the factors that turn struggling projects into failures. Frank shares how these experiences can become powerful lessons in leadership, resilience, and future success.

Failure is never the goal, but it can be one of the most powerful teachers. The best project leaders aren't defined by avoiding failure, they're defined by how they learn, adapt, and lead through it.

Is AI actually helping teams deliver more value?

Automation and AI tools are accelerating work like never before, but speed alone doesn't guarantee better outcomes. Many organizations are finding themselves busier than ever while still struggling to deliver meaningful value.

In our latest episode of , we continue the conversation on AI's impact on project management with Galen Low, co-founder of The Digital Project Manager. We explore why project leaders need to move beyond asking, "How can we do this faster?" and start asking, "Should we even be doing this at all?"

Galen shares insights on:
• Productivity vs. value delivery
• AI as a collaborative teammate, not just a productivity tool
• The bottlenecks that continue to slow teams down
• The opportunities and risks of rapid iteration

As the role of the project manager evolves into orchestrating people, technology, and outcomes, success may depend less on job titles and more on skills and capabilities.
