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.
I will advice the MTD company for incorporate iterative approach to enable them get fast and periodic responses from end users concerning different aspects of their project.
I have learnt that using linear approach will be the best for the MTD in executing the project goals.

The idea of using iterative processes in the event as a PM working for MTD is welcomed, because it will help keep the client abreast as to the processes and deliverables at each level. Although there will be a need to use the linear approach, especially for activities that are strictly dependent on others. Otherwise, a healthy mix of the two will ensure the delivery of the project within the scope, time, and budget.
Using the knowledge of VUCA Framework, I would use it to ascertain the nature surrounding the 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 working for an MTD, I must first of all study the environment before embarking on any given project. Making sure there is no stone left unturned.
I must also learn to adopt adaptive and flexibility methods in the approaches and not being rigid.
Also master the different approaches and know which one will suite the work for me.
I will also ensure I build my toolkit of project lifecycles and related practices and technique. Applying the VUCA framework will also be an added advantage to me.
Agile methodologies, often used in software development, can be adapted to event planning for enhanced flexibility and collaboration. This approach promotes regular communication with stakeholders, enabling quicker adjustments to changing requirements. It encourages incremental progress, allowing for early testing of event elements and adjustments based on feedback. However, the agile approach might require a higher level of ongoing communication and coordination to ensure all team members are aligned
Taking an iterative approach to setting up an event as a project can have several implications. It allows for continuous improvement and adaptation as one gathers feedback and insights throughout the process. This can result in a more refined event plan, better alignment with stakeholder expectations, and enhanced attendee experience. However, it might also require more flexibility in timelines and resources as changes are incorporated. Overall, an iterative approach can lead to a more successful and impactful event.
I a PM working under MTD, I’ll study the environment and apply agile & iterative approach and also involve the sponsors and stakeholders for a perfect result.
As a project manager working with MTD I will make sure I apply every of the iterative and agile principle that I know and also see that stakeholders and sponsors are carried along all through the project
