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.
As a Project Manager, I will strategically identify the challenges and expected outcomes with the application of the VUCA framework to better address the project and set goals.
As a PM who is aware that no two projects are the same, using the VUCA framework would go a long way to ensuring quality work done.

As a project manager, I will implement the use of VUCA framework tools to develop suitable response for the issues and challenges of the event project.
Taking an iterative approach in setting an event as project:-
The implications is that
– the event project risk would be reduced, changes would be easily implemented
-Adaptability, collaboration and efficiency in work and communication would be enhanced.
Agile approach to the challenges will aid in controlling over budget arising from the changes in requirement to stall the challenges and increase service quality.
As a PM, knowing fully well the diversity in projects, I will strategically identify the challenges and expected outcomes with the application of the VUCA framework to better address the project set goals.
The uniqueness of every project is rated by the challenges it present to the Manager. One of the thing I will do is study how volatile the environment is, then give proper definition to the project.
the iterative approach will help minimize risk, better management of resources , conflict that may from limited resources that may arise will be avoided.
I will be flexible in approached situations and possible challenges.
As a PM in a similar scenario with MTD, I will not stay rigid to a particular method. I will love to ask the following questions: what is the Volatility, the uncertainty, adaptability status at stage? This means using the VUCA framework would be a guide while also employing the iterative and agile approaches when faced with problems along the line of implantation
Every project is unique and should be attended to uniquely despite the approach and methodology may be similar.
Flexibility is very essential and it’s best to be versatile and know that no two projects are the same and also be open to learn new ways and methods to carry out a successful project
Knowing that no two projects are same and that risk management is crucial in MTD, I would choose the iterative process or a combination of the two. I would anticipate potential changes or risks and quickly propose a remedy.
With the knowledge and understanding that no two projects are the same, so therefore I will have to be flexible in my approach using the VUCA framework.
