In 2004 Doug Decarlo wrote an article I really liked contrasting the different mindsets between the traditional and extreme (Agile) project manager. I think this hits it pretty bang on.
Newtonian – Stability is the norm | Quantum – Chaos is the norm |
The world is linear and predictable | Uncertainty reigns |
It is controllable | Expect surprises |
We can minimize change | We should welcome change |
Add rigor to the process to increase the feeling of security | Relax controls to increase the feeling of security |
Deliver on the planned result | Deliver to the desired result |
Use the plan to drive results | Use results to drive the plan |
Aim, air, fire | Fire, then redirect the bullet |
Keep tight control on the process | Keep the process loose |
Manage to the baseline | Manage to what’s possible |
Get it right the first time | Get it right the last time |
