eXtreme Project Management Test

"To show the radical difference between eXtreme project management and traditional project management, let's explore the answers to this question: How do you determine the progress of a project?
The traditional project management answers to this question include:

Is the project meeting agreed deadlines?
Is the project in budget?
Have there been changes to the scope and objectives?

Indeed, most project management systems are based on reports only on budget and deadline compliance. eXtreme project management adopts a completely different approach to measuring project success and progress:

Are stakeholders being informed and consulted about project status?
Have there been unapproved changes to scope and objectives?
Are the cost and benefits assumptions still valid?
Has the agreed product quality been compromised?
Are project risks unchanged?
Is the sponsor completely aware of the project status?
Are the team members satisfied with the project?

In effect, traditional project management looks inward and downward whereas, eXtreme project management looks outward and upward." (By Rob Thomsett)
