Traditional #projectmanagement thrives in a simple or complicated environment. For example, if you are transporting bricks from A to B, and you have done this a thousand times before, #projectmanagement is a great answer. You know how to do the work, you know the best way to do the work, you know who is best positioned to do the work, and you know how long it will take and how long it will cost. Complicated environments like civil engineering are similar. You know how to build the bridge, you know who is great at it, you know more or less how much that will cost and how long it will take. #winning When we move into complexity, things become exponentially harder because we don't know the answer upfront. The problem has never been solved before and the solution has never been built before. We don't even know if the people we have can solve the problem or build the problem, we need to move through empirical process control to discover the answer and the best way to build the product or solve the problem. In this short video, John McFadyen explains why Empiricism - aka Empirical Process Control - has become one of the preferred ways to deal with complexity.
