Progetto in ritardo di tre settimane · Project Management · Beginner

The case

You manage a software project with go-live set for November 30. In mid-October the baseline shows a three-week slip on a five-month total duration. The sponsor asks whether you will finish on time. The team is already at full capacity and two features have not started. The budget is nearly fully committed. How do you recover the delay or renegotiate the date without losing the sponsor's trust?
