Extreme project management

Extreme project management (XPM) refers to the method of managing very complex and very uncertain projects.

Extreme project management differs from traditional project management mainly in its open, elastic and undeterministic approach. The main focus of XPM is on the human side of project management (e.g. managing project stakeholders), rather than on intricate scheduling techniques and heavy formalism.

Other names for extreme project management are:

  • radical project management
  • agile project management.

Extreme project management is a generalization of extreme programming.

Key authorities on extreme project management are:
