Project Review

Introduction: Extreme Management

Extreme Management is OSE's version of Scrum with a focus on documentation of work product, readily accessible in one click from a graphical index/overview platform. It builds upon the concept of PERT charts and Critical Path Diagrams, including clear Work Breakdown Structures. Project evaluation and review is critical to project management. OSE is using a technique which involves a combination of PERT and Critical Path Method techniques. The requirements for open project management are:

• Project is readily reviewable by a brief examination of management platform, including one-click access to all content
• Work product is one-click accessible from management platform
• Can be displayed on a cloud-embeddable-linkable platform such as Google Docs. This means that the project status and work product can be viewed from anywhere and updated readily; that it can be embedded into any other platform and that the updates in the display are updated readily; and that work product can be linked to a graphic of the Extreme Management platform. This build on Scrum by adding a focus on documentation of work product
• Budget, timeline, sequence, duration are visible. Any breakdowns in

Implementation

Execution of a complex task follows these steps:

1. Start with a clear Work Breakdown Structure
2. Milestones, expected start time and duration, and actual end time, dependencies, and sequence are displayed in an OSE PERT Chart. Each milestone links to a spreadsheet.
3. Tasks from the Work Breakdown Structure, their predicted and actual times, links to work product, and planned + actual cost are shown on a spreadsheet. See
