Currently on a project that is on the road for failure. I was assigned a project already in the red, and I managed to get it to yellow only to have leadership not provide me a key resource and the client not getting their action items done, which resulted back to red. I am trying not to take it personally, but it does seem like I was handed a project above my work experience to solve and might be the sacrifice to the stakeholders. Has anyone experienced this, and how did you manage?

My first project we were 15% through a 26 million dollar project and there were 25 other projects on my list. This big project was above budget and the schedule was failing. The thing I did was lay everything out in the open list what is wrong and ideally what can fix it or an idea and make sure your higher ups know. Maybe they might look at it and go oh do this and this or at least if they turn on you you can then go back and say I pointed out all these risks back then and nobody said anything when it could have helped

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.
