great video. I like the idea of mythical certainty. Mythical certainty assumes that people are rational. We know from behavioral economics that is myth. Mythical certainty also runs counter to the second law of thermodynamics and what know about the science of chaos and complexity. As Moltke said "all plans fail after the first shot is fired." I run a cabinet shop, and build kitchens, and one of my biggest problems is that my clients don't know what they want when the project starts. I have designed my whole process to move in flexible stages so that clients can adjust as they see things start to materialize. For example I do not make any doors or drawers until after the boxes are installed so clients can adjust sizes once they see the boxes in place.
good one! but, is it really that we have this imperfect information at the beginning? What if we know the are well already? What if we are true professionals in the area? Even traditional approach enables change management, and ...it describes the goals to be met, not the way we meet them - so a great level of responsibility, freedom is available even in traditional management, just the control over the result seems to be much higher as the committment to the deadlines is always there. ....no backlog is planned to be present ;-)
Otherwise known as "Making It Up As You Go": No idea what you're going to deliver or when the customer is going to get delivery, and with every change in direction comes increased spend and changing delivery expectations. A total Mickey Mouse way to approach a project
