Adaptive Project Management
Abstract
Adaptive project management (APM) is a method applied in project management. The method adapt and changes in response to requests from the stakeholder. The process in the method allows the manager to improve decisions and practices during the project life cycle based on experiences from previous results obtained during the project. The method accommodates uncertainties where the process is an adaptive structured and systematic iterative process [1]. The method derives from agile project management, however, in APM the methodology allows the team to respond to unexpected challenges and adapt new improved methods towards reaching the project goal [2]. The method can be implemented in nearly all project types with a defined goal but an undecided process to reach the goal. However, one exception is in construction project, where little flexibility is accepted during the project lifecycle. An example of application of the method is during restoration of coastal ecosystem projects [3].
History
The method was introduced in 2008 by Robert K. Wysocki Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;

However, a strategy is dynamic and unpredictable, and therefore project may fail if the project approach do not deal with uncertainties that exits towards the way to reaching the goal of the project. The APM approach can be compared to the evolution in biology, where favorable traits are adapted in time, and correspondingly, in the adaptive management approach the project manager can adapt new more favorable decisions during the project life cycle to reach the project goal. A change in strategy is accepted as more knowledge, experience and information becomes available, which will be adapted in the strategy < ref name= Think Thyme />. The APM method can be viewed as a response to the complexity of projects, where the two most common failure reasons for complex projects are because of re-prioritization and change in strategy Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
