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 management you should observe the environment before working on the project given to you and also Linear project management lifecycle are suited to more stable environment.
I have learnt so far the different approaches to handling projects as a PM.
The linear and iterative approaches. I learnt that both method can be combined to get the best results.
I would use the hybrid approach to solve the case in MTD inorder to get to constantly test ideas and learn about the user requirements. Thus approach will also be used inorder to accelerate delivery of the projects and also to improve stakeholders engagement.
As a Project Manager for MTD, it is imperative to know that Linear approach will not work in all situations hence, the adoption of iterative approach will be needed, because agile or iterative approach get posibilities in everything and also manage risks properly
As a pm MTD,VUCA will be the first thing to adopt because volatility and uncertainty are very important to be observed and handle before starting a project.
The linear project lifecycle plays a significant role for it’s how to take control of the start, middle and end, also linear project in practice such as construction,one stage follows another predictably.And each stage must be completed before the next one begins makes a project have a successful outcome.
Meanwhile in iterative the project starts with just an idea, hypothesis or vision.
By mixing all together the project will succeed and accomplish.
From the knowledge gained from today’s lecture
To carry out the MTD projects , to apply the VUCA framework to it , it would be great in considering the Volatility change of materials to make consideration in planning for chemicals used for water purifying to be reused and to consider uncertainty which may include local water authorities, making difficult decisions and local authorities project approvals , and it would be good to use the linear project lifecycle to start the project and when it’s get to the stage of recycling , Applying the scrum framework to g work on the project and get feedback from stakeholders and consumers if recycled water is good enough

As a Project Manager for MTD, it is imperative to know that only Linear approach will not work in all situations hence, the adoption of iterative approach where need be.
As a project manager of MTD. The linear can not work due to the challenge’s face before there is need to combined but the iterative and VUCA for the project to succeeds.
As a project manager of MTD.firstly,you must understand the environment you want to execute your project.
Set your plan to carry out in case if is linear or iterative cos not both works in same environment
It will also look into the risk management as well as the successful organization of the company by combining both linear and iterative approach to solve the managerial problem at hand
I will advise them to use both the linear and iterate approach in a project, work can be done much faster with iterative approach though with linear you will be sure of how well it progresses and can easily change the scope of the project. In MTD it is a complex project they will need some expert knowledge to complete some aspect within specific time cost and quality.
As a project manager I will study my environment which I think is very important before starting any project . I will be flexible and adaptive to different types of project and I will ensure we use that vuca approach to projects
Projects for MTD would have a relatively similar structure about them therefore most projects would utilize a linear management system for projects.
However, since each project is different, there is also the tendency to encounter unforeseen problems or issues that may require a change of approach. The iterative project management system would be helpful to solve these issues.
A hybrid system would also be helpful in handling projects. This would depend on the project manager’s orientation of the project. The stakeholders for the projects would be different and this would determine the method employed.
Yes
The insight gained from this week that could offer assistance to MTDs project issue includes;
– The use of VUCA by project managers and team to study the project and also bringing out available risks and ways to resolve them.
– Another one is the use of both linear and iterative approach when working on a project because it’s more flexible and faster and has its benefit. It’s more efficient to use both because if u use linear alone u may meet a requirement creep which may lead to the failure of the project.
The implications of adopting only an agile approach is that it works on many things at the same time which might lead to moving away from the main goal if the project is not supervised properly.
As a project manager for the MTD firm, organizing an event has a tendency to follow a linear path. However, utilizing an agile or iterative strategy can also help the project be finished quickly. It’s crucial to use sprint among team members without skipping over any specifics of the event planning.
Numerous vendor disappointments, a lack of vendor dependability, and an environmental crisis that may be caused by an inadequate location are a few potential difficulties.
