Welcome to our Conceptbox - an online resource for project management tools, methods and theories.

The concepts are organized in the following table, inspired by the Project Canvas and in line with the four perspectives on projects:

PURPOSE, PEOPLE, COMPLEXITY and UNCERTAINTY.


This page is mostly oriented for project management information-seekers students or practitioners.

[edit] COMPLEXITY

Table 3.-Project aspect:COMPLEXITY
Complexity
0. Foundational elements:
  • Systems engineering ([1], [2])


Connecting the dots:

  • When – the scientific secrets of perfect timing


1. Scoping: What to do?:
  • Pooled, Sequential & Reciprocal dependence([3])
  • Work break down structure (WBS)([4])
2.Estimating: ?
  • Top-down vs ground up estimations([5])
  • Estimation Techniques([6], [7])
  • Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)([8],[9])
  • Reference class forecasting([10],[11], [12])
  • Successive principle (cost or schedule)([13])
3. Scheduling: When to do it?:


4. Resourcing: Who does what?:
5. Costing: How much?: 6. Improving: Can we do it better?:
  • Multi-tasking
  • Resources leveling and crashing ([44])
  • Lean construction([45],[46])
  • Last planner system ([47])
  • Value added work ([48], [49])


7. Contracting: Make or Buy?:
  • Types of contracts ([50])
  • Fee-based contracts
  • Fixed-price contracts ([51])
  • Incentive contracts
  • Adversarial Relations ([52], [53])
  • Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)([54], [55])
