What you really need to sort this out is a “Wicked Mess”?

So, I recently went to a really interesting and different view on Project Management by Martin Price, entitled The Single Minded Project. A very more personal approach to Project Management with some really intersting concepts that organisations can implement – do read his site via the link.

What I really liked was another concept he touched on, that projects are either:

• Tame: Straight froward and understood but “boring”
• Mess: Straight forward but not well organised, or with external influence getting in the way
• Wicked: Not well defined and likely to diverge into something else
• Wicked Mess: A bit of both!

Much more about this here – worth a read: http://www.modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/1666/The-Tame-the-Messy-and-the-Wicked.aspx
