How to spot roadblocks in client projects

Every project faces challenges, but the difference between success and failure often depends on how early you spot them. Roadblocks are much easier to manage when they are identified before they cause delays.

To uncover potential issues, review the plan carefully and ask where progress might slow down. Talk openly with both the client and your team, since each often sees risks that others may miss. Unclear requirements, limited resources, and third-party dependencies are some of the most common trouble spots.

The best way to handle roadblocks is to raise them with the client early, before they escalate. For example, if a feature looks too complex for the budget, bring it up immediately and suggest alternative solutions. Clients value honesty and proactive planning far more than last-minute explanations.

With Birdview PSA, project managers can spot risks early and act fast. Workload and timeline views make it clear if someone is overbooked, while budget tracking highlights potential issues before they grow. Detecting overspending early often prevents bigger problems later and keeps the project on track.
