ABSTRACT
We’ve come to the end of our journey together. As practitioners, it’s clear we have many tools at our disposal to help manage and improve project performance. Some of these tools feel very engineering based. They are reductionist, atomistic methods focused on quantifying and managing elements impacting project performance. These elements are encased in causal chains explaining and predicting behavior. Practitioners can use these tools to help plan, set expectations, take measurements on project status, communicate and potentially act to change status.
