You should be using short term lookahead programmes which relate back to the master programme. These should be monitored weekly and any slippages identified and addressed. The master programme should be updated at least monthly to monitor the critical path.

Here are standard practices we can follow to ensure that Programs stay on track : 1. Frequent Communication: Schedule regular updates to identify and address bottlenecks swiftly. 2. Unified Tracking: Implement a centralized system to monitor real-time progress and interdependencies. 3. Adjust Timelines: Reassess deadlines based on current workloads and challenges. 4. Resource Reallocation: Redirect resources or tasks to areas requiring the most support to balance workloads. 5. Promote Teamwork: Encourage collaboration to overcome obstacles. 6. Ensure Accountability: Hold teams responsible for meeting deadlines. 7. Contingency Plans: Develop backup plans for critical tasks to avoid cascading delays.

When interrelated projects are getting delayed then we should focus on 1. Fixing one program at one time. 2. This means underlining which program is most important or on critical path and then shooting it down like Arjun If we try to solve everything in one go, we will fail for sure. One at a time is surely better. If there are multiple teams and can tackle multiple programs in parallel, this can fast track. This is where modular programs/ self contained architecture and design is at times better. In summary, go to basics. Look at cause of delay and go ahead
