Problem Driven Project Management is a modern alternative to agile project management methods. While the waterfall model still requires everything to be planned through from the top down, and even agile methods still call for iterative planning, the point of planning simply falls away in problem driven project management.
The missing planning phase results in enormous savings in resources - and thereby in costs - and a very goal-oriented approach arises automatically: current problems are simply prioritized and then worked off. The approach is also highly intuitive and caters directly to the needs of the project stakeholders. Customers, too, usually prefer a problem-driven approach to solution over an elaborate plan that could never be adhered to anyway. This results in closer customer relations and, ultimately, higher customer satisfaction.
Elaborate planning, project and team meetings were yesterday's news. Problem Driven Project Management is the perfect project management method for everyone who still found agile methods too rigid. This simple approach dispenses entirely with training or certificates for project managers - anyone can be successful using problem driven project management!
In many companies, Problem Driven Project Management has already been introduced, often as a direct reaction to the previously complex management methods with their heavy planning and organizational overhead. Agile was yesterday, problem driven is today!
Now, setting the heavy sarcasm aside: the text above is, of course, utter nonsense - Problem Driven Project Management is nothing but the management of chaos. Whoever recognizes themselves in it should urgently take action!
