Managers, executives and probably even some CLOs have long viewed project management as a tactical, operational endeavor, with which they have had mixed success. But a quiet revolution has been taking place over the past decade that has propelled project management to the top of many CEO’s agendas. The reason is simple: Strategic objectives are realized through projects. If we can’t do projects well, we won’t meet our goals.
This is why many organizations have pushed the project management envelope to adapt new ways of executing projects. One such cutting-edge business practice is adaptive project management, a term that describes a number of alternative management techniques specifically aimed at helping project teams deliver intended results on time. These techniques include agile project management, integrated project teams and heavyweight project management.
These relatively new practices alter the makeup and roles of traditional project teams in an attempt to improve efficiency and deliver results quicker and more cost-effectively. Although each of these techniques has the ability to deliver impressive results, they also present a challenge to CLOs who must identify and develop programs to provide project managers, team members and the executives who guide them with the requisite skills needed to maximize their use.
