Christian's Topic Wishlist

As a part of the ongoing development of our basic course on project management I am looking for wiki articles on specific tools and concepts within each of the four perspectives: Purpose, People, Complexity, and uncertainty. Some of the topics are already covered in the ConceptBox but not all live up to our expected standards in terms of content, references and use of “own” figures. I thus particularly welcome wiki contribution on the following topics:

Table 1.-Project aspect:PURPOSE

PURPOSE	PEOPLE	COMPLEXITY	UNCERTAINTY
	Vision Statement	Scoping	Triple Constraint
	SMART goals	Project Scope Management	Limitations of the iron triangle
	Project Charter	The work breakdown structure in project management	Beyond the Triple Constraint
	Value Proposition Canvas	Requirements management	Efficiency vs. Effectiveness
	Brainstorming technique	Scope creep	Success factors
	Project governance framework	Feasibility Study	Managing Successful Programmes (MSP)
