Lindsy principle in project and risk management

And history is a goldmine for learning about risks and how to avoid them. By looking back at past projects and initiatives, project managers can spot potential landmines and build better contingency plans to reduce uncertainty.

So, project managers should keep things simple and streamlined, focusing on the essentials and avoiding unnecessary complexity. This can help reduce the risk of failure and uncertainty associated with overly complicated systems and processes.

By using established project management methodologies and practices, project managers can reduce the risk of failure and uncertainty and increase the likelihood of success.

This is commonly known as the Lindsy Principle, named after Fred Lindsy, an innovative American businessman. The idea behind the principle is that it is more effective and economical to use existing solutions whenever possible than to start afresh with new solutions. The project manager should take into account the resources available, the technical requirements of the project, and the possible risks of failure when selecting a course of action. Generally speaking, the Lindsy Principle states that if a proven solution is available, use it, instead of devising a custom solution.

PMP 180 sample questions by Olivier Lehman

Enjoy the updated to the latest PMP version sample questions. Good luck at you PMPM exam!

PMI evolves PM competency’s triangle

As stated at the official website the evolvement is implemented to depict the current PM reality.

PMI states the following:

Ways of Working: Whether itโ€™s predictive, agile, design thinking, or new practices still to be developed, it’s clear that there is more than one way that work gets done today. Thatโ€™s why we encourage professionals to master as many ways of working as they can – so they can apply the right technique at the right time, delivering winning results. 

Power Skills: These interpersonal skills include collaborative leadership, communication, an innovative mindset, for-purpose orientation, and empathy. Ensuring teams have these skills allows them to maintain influence with a variety of stakeholders – a critical component for making change. 

Business Acumen: Professionals with business acumen understand the macro and micro influences in their organization and industry and have the function-specific or domain-specific knowledge to make good decisions. Professionals at all levels need to be able to cultivate effective decision-making and understand how their projects align with the big picture of broader organizational strategy and global trends.

And because todayโ€™s projects demand a broad set of skills and capabilities, PMI will continue to focus on giving you the tools and insights you need to develop new skills and tackle your next project challenge. This update to the PMI Talent Triangle will help you to navigate our professionโ€™s ever-evolving landscape with confidence.”

Does Agile make impact on project success?

The fast growth of Agile popularity is driven by a myth of its high quality. The professional have another opinion, that Agile approaches are valuable but one of many other approaches, and Agile – as any other management model – has its advantages, challenges and limitations – and thus the appropriate and inappropriate areas of implementation.

Thanks to the projectmanagement.com webinar now we have a research based on 8 years of data collection, which clearly shows that project success does not depend on a certain methodology (see image 1), more of all vast implementation of Agile has no impact on total success rate of IT projects.
