Before talking about budget or technology, two things need to be analyzed: how clear your objective is, and how ready the context is.
Objectives &
context
Before talking about budget or technology, two things need to be analyzed: how clear your objective is, and how ready the context is.
If the objective is clear...
You have detailed specifications, a defined scope, and few doubts about what needs to be built.
Recommended model: Defined Outcome project (DOP)
If the budget is fixed, but the objective evolves...
You want to validate an idea on the market and are willing to trade features for real user feedback.
Recommended model: Valued-Constrained Project (VCP)
If you still don’t know what to build...
The problem is evident, but the solution is unclear. There are technical, integration, or business risks that need to be clarified before starting.
Recommended model: Risk Redcution Project (RRP)
If you need ongoing capacity...
You have a product to maintain and evolve, or a team that needs support on complex challenges.
Recommended model: Capacity Engagement (CE)

Every project has its own story.
What’s yours?
