Project Management - NOT SO COOKIE CUTTER!!

Project management is so important to any established organization within an industry. Without a specific approach to the task of managing a project, achieving desirable objectives would be almost impossible. There are, however, many different ways in which a project can be carried out and the way in which it is executed. There is of course, the traditional method of managing a project, which includes developing and implementing specific plans, schedules and budgets etc. throughout identifiable stages. Another, more dynamic approach, is called effectuation. Effectuation is a more loosely evolved problem solving technique that allows for speculative formulation along the way.


As long as the projects purpose is achieved, does it really matter what approach you take in order to reach those desirable objectives? The answer to this question is YES YES YES! There are many different ways to carry out and manage projects because there are many different types of projects that require different measurables and standards.
