Here's the scenario I want to put out there to all of you... You're moving forward on a project that is going well. At least it seems that way from your perspective and your team's perspective. And as far as you've been aware up to this point in the project, your customer has been very satisfied and has no issues with you as a project manager, anyone on your project team, or the progress and status of the project up to this point.
Now consider this - your project sponsor/customer calls you suddenly and says that something has come up and he needs to put the project on hold for two months. How do you react? What actions do you take? What questions do you ask? And what about your team? You have project resources allocated but you can't keep them around forever. And if you let them go now, how do you get them back in two months when your project customer is ready to restart the effort?
