No sooner do you say “plan” when something
else has changed. Extreme projects are characterized by high-speed,
high-unpredictability and high-stress. They defy the prescriptive practices
of traditional project management that work well on waterfall-like projects,
but only serve to inhibit creativity and adaptability when applied to high-change
projects.
But now, there are agile and flexible project
management frameworks proven to work… frameworks that enable project stakeholders
to stay in control and deliver value despite volatility. These approaches
result in quick ramp-up, enable adaptation to sudden opportunities and
risks, and reduce time-to-profit.
