Two Approaches to Project Management
Ten3 project management workspaces
can be tailored to different types of projects by applying two different
approaches to project management:
-
Project
Administration - a traditional three-constraint-based (output, time, and budget)
approach; characterized by an early design freeze that creates a stable
target for the project; effective for incremental innovation projects when the time required to innovate is
shorter than the rate of change in the business environment.
-
Business Synergies - a new entrepreneurial approach; does not lock down
design earlier than absolutely necessary not to miss a newly emerging
opportunity; effective for
managing radical innovation
projects in the rapidly changing environment.

Modules specific to the
Project Administration and
Business Synergies
approaches are marked with PA and BS respectively.
