PM blogger Pawel Brodzinski asked me, and other PM bloggers, a great question: “What would be your Project Management approach under the following circumstances?” He provided three different scenario’s, ranging from running projects in big organizations to small start up teams.
I recommend reading the entire series. It is interesting to read different perspectives from great people: Shawn Futterer, Jurgen Appelo, Glen Alleman, Josh Nankivel, Steven Levy and Elizabeth Harrin.
My own answers illustrate how I prefer to stick as close to the dominant approach in the organization as possible, and prefer “small” methods as they are easier to explain.
“In principle I would work with whatever method is dominant in an organization. Just have to make sure that they are really working Prince-2 and not some Prince in Name only scheme. Start with a workshop to align everyone’s perspective on what it means running under Prince-2.”
