Popis: On evolving planning. Since project objectives are contingent on some of the early outcomes of the project, they should not be finalized too early. In fact, it may be wise to bring key stakeholders in on the objective formulation and to create prototypes to aid in objective formulation. The “rolling wave” approach of project planning incorporates plans of varying detail and time horizons, and evolves as a result of learning-based reviews. Quantitative risk management is of questionable use, but building in redundancies helps project managers cope with problems that may arise. The first role of the project manager is as a decision choreographer, who moves and synchronizes decisions to create an integrated plan that evolves as the project proceeds.
