Abstract

AbstractA lot of risks that plague projects have a high probability to occur: e.g. the risk that we don't deliver the right things or deliver late, and the underlying causes of these problems. This calls for proactively anticipating potential problems and organizing our projects in such a way that the probability of the impact is minimized. The Evolutionary Project Management (Evo) approach is just doing that, constantly being aware of what could go wrong and preventing it going wrong, by design. In stead of assuming a theoretical model of how humans “should” behave, Evo studies actual human behavior and strives to make optimum use of how humans actually behave. Opposing what's in our genes is a lost battle.In this paper we will first investigate prevailing risk management. Then we show how Evo practices are designed to successfully mitigate typical risks in projects. Finally, we spend a few words on how Evo relates to Enterprise Intelligence. The techniques discussed are not merely theoretical ideas, but have been tested, honed and proved by the author in the practice of more than 50 projects in various environments and cultures.
