The book Software for Your Head was a seminal work when we were setting up our Program Management Office in 2002 for a mega-project to remove nuclear waste from a very contaminated site in Golden Colorado.
Here's an adaptation of those ideas to the specifics of our domain and problems
This approach was a subset of a much larger approach to managing in the presence of uncertainty, very high risk, and even higher rewards, all on a deadline, and fixed budget.
As was stated in the Plan of the Week.
- Monday - Where are we going this week?
- Daily - What are we doing along the way?
- Friday - Where have we come to?
Do this every week, guided by the 3 year master plan and make sure no one is injured or killed.
That project is documented in the book Making the Impossible Possible summarized here.
