How to Diagnose Failing Projects Like an EMT

This week, we apply an EMT’s trauma checklist to project leadership. Using the DCAP-BTLS framework, we explore how to scan your project for failure symptoms—before they spiral.

Key focus areas:

• Spotting early signs of project breakdown

• Clarifying roles and responsibilities

• Responding with intention, not reaction

Call to Action: Identify one “injury” in your project—like burnout, misalignment, or scope creep—and treat it today.

People first. Combined process. Progress together.
