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:
