How many project management paradigms do you have in your organisation?

How many project management paradigms do you have in your organisation?

If you are trying to do upfront design upfront and iteration, you probably 1 have a problem.

If you have fixed deadlines and fixed scope, you probably have a problem.

If you are trying to centrally control of design and technology, and delegate decision making to teams, then you probably have a problem.

If you are trying to work in an agile way and using waterfall governance processes (or vice versa), you probably have a problem.

  1. ‘probably’, because, as Simon Wardley regularly points out, different paradigms make sense in different contexts. However, it should be a choice, not an accident. ↩
