2. Chapter 19: Extreme Project Management • Proof-of-Concept Cycle • Revising the Version Plan • Embedding the APF in Other Approaches • Extreme Project Management • Comparing Project Approaches

3. Learning Objectives • Embed the APF in other approaches • Use the APF for proof of concept • Adapt the APF to revise the version plan • Identify an extreme project • Describe the four phases of the Extreme Project Management approach • Understand how Extreme Project Management clarifies the goal and converges to a solution Chapter 19

4. Variations on APF • Proof-of-Concept Cycle • Used to help make business case for project • First cycle of APF project • Steps • The creation of a prototype • A feasibility study • The writing of use cases • Storyboarding • Any other activity to demonstrate business plan • Revising Version Plan • The first few cycles generates numerous change ideas and issues • Client may decide to change version plan Chapter 19

5. Embedding APF in Other Approaches • In TPM • In the WBS, leave a functionality undefined • Place undefined functionality in Network Diagram • Use APF for the undefined functionality Chapter 19

6. Defining an Extreme Project • High Speed – Project is innovative, groundbreaking, and vital to organization. Speed is essential • High Change – Uncertainty about goal and solution necessitates constant change • High Uncertainty – Time and cost are unknown Chapter 19
