For all the projects that have been shelved/could be shelved, using force majeure clause, what do you think would happen to these projects.
1. you could see the project reviving after a while/ after lock down - BAU 2. project could be shelved completely..
Completed projects would mean something, later it would be meaningless/inconsequential, because such delays could impact several other connecting projects.
Are you facing any such projects, what do you see the outcome as ? Saving Changes...
It would really depend on the scale, complexity, cost, necessity, business case, business environment, legal requirement and available resources of the project.
I can see a lot of projects getting permanently shelved and those that have started, mothballed.
The new reality is that the business case will really have to stack up, be logically sound in the current business environment for a project to be taken out of stasis and resuscitated.
The reason for this is a lot of the reasons for implementation of the project in the first place may no longer be relevant.
The evoking of the Force Majeure clause on a contract protects all parties involved in implementing the project not just the customer or the vendors.
Also there is the added area of projects that are nearing completion or recently completed and the business case for their implementation on annual maintenance and fixed recurring cost.
Project that are part of larger program could also be affected even if their implementation was decades in the planning stages.
