Two Approaches to Project Management

Ten³ project management workspaces can be tailored to different types of projects by applying two different approaches to project management:

1. Project Administration - a traditional three-constraint-based (output, time, and budget) approach; characterized by an early design freeze that creates a stable target for the project; effective for incremental innovation projects when the time required to innovate is shorter than the rate of change in the business environment.

2. Business Synergies - a new entrepreneurial approach; does not lock down design earlier than absolutely necessary not to miss a newly emerging opportunity; effective for managing radical innovation projects in the rapidly changing environment.
