About this tool

When a project starts to wobble, leaders need clarity fast, not another dashboard or status update.

The Turnaround Measure Tracker is a simple, practical tool to help you regain control, rebuild trust, and deliver results. It’s built on the five steps used by delivery leader David Crawford, known for running toward the fire and bringing failing projects back to life.

Whether you’re managing a small, time-critical project or a large, complex programme, the tracker helps you:

  • Cut through noise and see what’s really happening;
  • Identify the people, processes, and priorities that need your attention;
  • Track progress over five weeks across five core measures; and
  • Create calm, focus, and forward momentum when pressure’s high.

It’s a simple approach that provides structure and gives you the space to lead.

Download the tracker and start bringing your projects back on course today.
