Re: [Planner] [OT] PM Controlling Literature

Hello
I think you need to establish variables to control projects. If you have
uncertainty, and this is an important variable, you need to find ways to
track it, like some mensurable rate. You will need just to expose some
generic way to "taste" uncertainty against the project's evolution. This
could be done aproaching time, space, people, tools, etc. Actually, project
management is focused in time. But you could use, for example, objectives or
marks, and you coud have some project oriented to marks. This changes
aspects of scheduling, from time to marks, that could be useful approaching
uncertainty.
