Managing Complexity in the Face of Uncertainty, presented by Robert K. Wysocki, Ph.D.
Those projects for which both the goal and the solution to reach it are clearly defined are well-supported by traditional project management (TPM) approaches. Those projects whose goal and solution are not clearly defined are well-supported by extreme project management (xPM) approaches. But what about those projects whose goal is clearly defined but whose solution is not?
A new approach called Adaptive Project Framework (APF) is designed specifically for those situations. APF is an iterative and adaptive five-phase approach designed to deliver maximum business value to clients within the limits of their time and cost constraints. The fundamental concept underlying APF is that time and cost are fixed and within those constraints scope is variable. APF maximizes business value by adjusting scope at each iteration. It does this by making the client the central figure in deciding what constitutes the maximum business value and how scope should change to achieve it. Do we have your attention?
