Description of Driving Event:

Several design drawings were delivered late because the responsible engineer (RE) did not have the appropriate level of experience to complete the work and did not ask for help. In addition to not asking for help or communicating any other concerns about the drawings, the RE assumed they could recover the slip in schedule by their own efforts and relayed this to the Project Manager (PM). Therefore, the PM who was addressing known issues did not see sufficient evidence to become involved. Eventually, the PM could not rely on the RE's assurances and decided to enlist the help of drawing experts to complete the drawings.
