Three Styles of Project Management 

Project Management can be classified into three major types;

1) Predictive - Suitable for projects where scope clarity is very high, technology used is very familiar, and changes are expensive. Most of the construction projects fall into this category. In predictive project management planning is done upfront.

2) Adaptive or Agile - Suitable for projects where the scope is continuously evolving or the technology is new or both. All new product development fall into this category. Ai projects are another example where one start with a minimum viable model and optimises it continuously. 

3) Hybrid - Hybrid projects use the best practices from both predictive and agile, tailored to meet the project specifics. Construction projects may use agile project practices during the engineering phases and predictive practices during the construction phase. 

We will be explaining these in detail in the upcoming modules.
