Читать книгу Project Management for Humans - Brett Harned - Страница 41

Risks are inherent in all projects. You just know something will come up, and you want to prepare for them. These methodologies are meant for PM folks who are hyper-focused on what could pull a project off the rails and subsequently come up with stable ways to get it back under control.

• Event Chain Methodology (ECM): If critical path wasn’t enough for you, you want to take a look at ECM. The six principles of ECM make up a technique that is focused on identifying risks and their potential effects on a project’s schedule. Think of it this way: the ECM PM is living in doomsday. Everything is a risk, and they know how to handle it. On one hand, it makes the team comfortable. On the other, it can be sort of gloomy to always think about the worst that can happen. After all, your control ends somewhere, right?

• Extreme Project Management (XPM): Not to be confused with XP or a sick afternoon of Parkour, XPM is all about embracing change and altering project plans, requirements, resources, budgets, and even the final deliverable to meet changing needs. Extreme!

• PRiSM (Projects Integrating Sustainable Methods): This methodology for managing change is focused on sustainability, or using existing organizational resources, to reduce negative impact on environmental or social impacts. It follows six principles that are derived from the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles. This is serious process work that can make your lives better in major ways.
