Context Driven Agile Project Leadership

• We expect uncertainty and manage for it through iterations, anticipation, and adaptation.
• We improve effectiveness and reliability through situationally specific strategies, processes and practices.

The "one size fits all" approach to Project Leadership is inherently flawed. We have found that the two primary attributes of uncertainty and complexity of a project provide guidance to effective project leadership and governance. Complexity includes project composition such as team size and criticality, while uncertainty includes both market and technical uncertainty. The approach and leadership style required for a simple, stable project is quite different than what is required for highly uncertain, highly complex projects.
