There is high commitment of getting the project work done competently but performance not satisfying.

• The key technical staff involved in the project management feel overworked, exploited and misused.
• Particular technical groups or individual project team members have tendency of blaming each other for failure to meet specifications, lead time and costs.
• Project obligations are completed on time, to the specifications and at the right cost but technical groups or individual team members are not satisfied with the gains achieved.
