The type of project is decisive for the composition of
the team, budget and timing.

Each type of project requires its own approach and has its own Beat.

It is very important to determine the scope of a project in order to determine a viable approach. But it is at least as important to determine what type of project you have to do and to have a consensus among all the parties involved. If not annoyance and the questioning of the project is a foreseeable consequence.

According to Eddie Obeng, a British educator, author, and motivations preacher, there are four types of projects, depending on the extent to which one knows what the project entails and how one has to tackle it.

Missing.

When one does not know exactly what the scope of a project should be and one does not know exactly how to tackle it then we have a project in the ‘ Mist ‘.

For example, introducing a new business strategy because of political, legislative or socio-economic change in the organization. This type of project requires a team that has the will to learn and create together and a strong leadership: control, strong communication, innovation and creation to ensure a result.

Create a movie.

Do you know how to tackle the project but not exactly what the scope will be, then make a ‘ Film ‘. The way towards it and managing the project is clear and initially the focus is then on defining the ‘ what ‘ and not so much how it will be done. The project then realizes itself as it were.

On Quest.

Sometimes it is clear what the end result should be but not how this should come about. A lot of information technology related projects are covered below. A lot of solutions have to be devised gradually and the project aspects time and budget are constantly under pressure.

The ‘ number painter ‘ method.

Are you sure of what needs to be done and how it should be realized, then you have a project of the type of ‘ number painter ‘ method. Such projects have a clear purpose and a well defined set of activities to finish the project.
