Extreme Project Management

Extreme project management is an approach used for projects with uncertain goals or solutions. It uses a life cycle model of initiating, speculating, incubating, and reviewing phases to progressively learn, redirect, and converge on acceptable goals and solutions. Each phase produces a partial solution that can potentially be released. Characteristics include operating at high speed, with high change and uncertainty. Strengths are keeping options open late and offering early looks at solutions, though there is risk of exploring the wrong areas or producing no value.

Linear Extreme
Extreme Project Management is a set of tools, templates, and processes for managing projects whose goal expresses an ideal state but whose solution for reaching that goal is unknown or unlikely.

Extreme Project Management Life Cycle Model

Definition

An Extreme PMLC Model is one that proceeds from phase to phase based on very limited knowledge of goal and solution. Each phase learns from the proceeding ones and redirects the next phase in an attempt to converge on an acceptable goal and solution. At the discretion of the client a phase may release a partial solution.

Emertxe Project Management Life Cycle Model

Definition

An Emertxe PMLC Model is one that proceeds from phase to phase based on very limited knowledge of the goal. Each phase learns from the proceeding ones and redirects the next phase in an attempt to converge on an acceptable goal that can be supported by some variation of the known solution.
