Put yourself in the role of a project manager collaborating with MTD, an events company.
Considering the difficulties and problems that MTD encounters in their projects, what insights have you gained this week that could offer assistance?
If an iterative approach were employed in organizing an event as a project, what would be the consequences? Similarly, what are the implications of adopting an agile approach? If the company sought your advice, what would you recommend?
Contribute your thoughts and ideas to the discussion.
Linear and iterative method are valuable in a given project and spectrum of techniques and practice that they offer to deliver successful projects in volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environments. One could consider how to select and adopt tools and techniques from this spectrum of approaches in order to meet the challenges of managing project in different context.

As a project manager, my advise will center in adopting or combining both linear and iterative approach for effective delivery, while in VUCA world, it’s required to be timing or positioning in the daily unpredictable occurances.
As a Project Manager working MTD, I will combine both Linear and Iterative approach. This creates flexibility which might be needed for the project.
As MTD manager I will combine both the linear and iterative approach to resolve issues and allowing flexibility to achieve the project goals
WE operate in a very dynamic environment, as project manager for MTD, an understanding of the VUCA frame work, would help to prioritize and plan deployment of resources and responses.
A Hybrid approach combining at different times within the project lifecycle, the Linear and iterative method will be very effective in managing ambiguity along the journey..
As a project manager for MTD, I’d make use of the agile approach seeing the type of company and the challenges associated with it. This approach will help keep the stakeholders and sponsors abreast with the progress and challenges that may affect the project delivery quality and time as well as keep the project alive . The implications of using this approach will be quick and short bursts of energy deployed to get every bit of the event rolling and the response from that will prompt the tram earlier on where there might be a challenge.
The linear approach will not work here but the agile approach will soar and produce desired results for each event.
As a project manager it will not be ideal to stick to or chose a particular method,using the VUCA framework would be a guide while also employing the iterative and agile approaches when faced with challenges along the line of implantation.
First I’ll have to understand the project critically so as to know the right approach to use while preparing different tools. But then a proper understanding of what the project is, is paramount

Well, personally I’ve learnt ways how I can be able to achieve a successful project.
Considering this two approach linear and iterative approach is very essential…Just like iterative project I can think of creating something of value with each iterative rather than only at the end of the project… giving a thought or idea can help me.
Second,but in linear approach it’s an effective or efficient way to deliver project in a stable environment if you have the good information about the project or possibly the required outputs so it can be more easier for me also to apply this approach and ponder over it for a successful outcome.
