E-MailProject Management Cultures: The Hidden Challenge
In this Executive Report by Rob Thomsett, we explore the impact of various project management models and the implications of organizational culture on project management. Without understanding these two issues, most organizations face the real threat of ineffectively adopting project management. Traditional project management had its origins in the engineering and construction industries in the late 1950s and had specific values and behaviors that are best summarized as expert-based and "closed." Agile project management was developed to reflect the complexities of business and IT projects; its values are stakeholder-driven and "open." The effective deployment of project management should be based on an examination of which culture, values, and behaviors are appropriate for each organization.
