Project performance is a function of the (un)predictability of task duration, scope evolution and resource availability and focus.
Solution Examples
Unpredictability has a way bigger impact on project performance than we realise.
Task duration unpredictability results in contingency being added to each task - which moves the goal-posts out, with little incentive to finish early or ability to recover contingency.
The same applies to the other project resources. Even small gains in predictability translate to significant gains in project performance.
In most situations the following gains are eminently achievable:
The opportunity for improvement is way larger in complex situations than simple ones.
