When it is your client dragging their feet, I have found that creating an "inactive" status works well. You talk with them up front about what that means and proceed with the project. As soon as they don't reply to you on critical decision points that need to be made, you just send out a form email that their project is going to be set to an inactive status unless you hear from them by XX date. Works like a charm. You will get them moving again. Funny how human nature is... Troy Malone I have been here numerous times.

My only thought - if and when you get off track and for whatever reason you cannot stay ahead of deadlines - regroup and re-prioritize. Sometimes the things that were most important at the onset of a project are less important and your critical path may have shifted. This is all so true.
