What EMTs can Teach Us about Failing Projects

May 27, 2025

Welcome to the second full episode in our All-Hazards Project Management series, What EMTs can Teach Us about Failing Projects. In this episode, we apply a trauma checklist used in emergency medicine—DCAP-BTLS—to assess and stabilize failing projects.


Strategies shared include:

  • Weekly workload balancing
  • Stakeholder alignment checkpoints
  • RACI ownership clarifications
  • Real-world triage questions for team check-ins


People first. Combined process. Progress together.
