Predictive Project Management – When Agile Just Won’t Work!
Think about your project environment. Do you have the opportunity to deliver your product or service in multiple deliveries or do you have one delivery at the end? Do you understand your requirements and are they stable? Do you have a solid handle on the technology that your project team will employ? There are a number of industries and professions that fall into this category. Your requirements are stable. You know what your team has to do, and your team knows how to do the work. However, the fact that you understand your requirements and technology doesn’t necessarily make it any easier or less complex.
The building and construction industry is but one example of a project environment that is well understood and often has stable requirements and yet project success remains elusive. Managing construction projects in a dynamic environment that is impacted by every conceivable obstacle – weather, politics, supply chain issues, union contracts, etc. – is not by any means easy. The good news is that we’ve got process for you!
Join us in Rehoboth Beach to learn more about Traditional (Predictive) Project Management.
