Extreme Project Management is a modern approach to project management that differs from other traditional methods for its ability to have new or changing requirements throughout the project. This has become especially interesting in today’s projects, where, they tend to require changes very frequently, due to a number of reasons such as Stakeholders changing their mind often, news about economical/environmental concerns, unexpected successes in the construction site and so on.
Those arisen problems during the execution of the project is one of the main challenges of the traditional project management methods. In the extreme approach, a project has no fixed project phases nor set of guidelines on how the activities should be executed but it adapts to the current situation and performs the best way possible. In contrast with the step-by-step workflow that characterizes the traditional model and its strict requirements the extreme method is more suitable to face the common unexpected changes that come up during today’s projects.
While the traditional approaches are characterized for a sequential design process known as the Waterfall Model, where the process takes the form of a linear-sequential model so each phase must be fully completed before the next one can start, the Extreme Project Management uses a different concept based on Rapid Application Development (RAD) which focuses more on development rather than planning.
In the present article the Extreme Project Management will be carefully analysed as well as the implementation of RAD on this method.
