Show Notes

The AI team take a deep dive into a booklet by Niels Malotaux which introduces Tom Gilb’s Evolutionary Project Management (Evo), a method emphasizing proactive risk mitigation through iterative Plan-Do-Check-Act cycles. Evo integrates project, requirements, and risk management into result management, focusing on achieving customer satisfaction and success.

The approach uses short cycles (TaskCycle, DeliveryCycle) to quickly identify and address problems, along with techniques like Active Synchronization and Planguage for requirements specification. Malotaux’s extensive project experience supports the claims of improved efficiency and on-time delivery.

The booklet details various Evo elements and contrasts them with traditional risk management approaches, arguing that many perceived risks are predictable issues best managed through process design rather than separate risk management procedures.
