A Growing PM Challenge
Categories: Emerging technology
The dozen high impact emerging technologies are catching the attention of many organizations and their senior executives. They are interested in their organization capturing the strategic advantage of multiple of these emerging technologies. However, they are concerned about the potential unproven attributes and benefits these emerging technologies are said to have. One action to minimize these risks and capture first-hand insights about the benefits the emerging technologies hold within an organization is the use of prototypes/pilots. While some of these prototypes/pilots are informally managed, there is a growing number that fall under traditional project management approaches. PMs find themselves under increased pressure to relax project management controls that are commonly used within that organization. When you also add the lack of past project experience, execution data and benchmarks for these emerging technologies you get a picture of the challenge that face PMs on these type initiatives!

Absolutely. Good points. Determining what the guardrails for POC projects could be part of an organizations intake process and established project 'governance' model.

New technologies are always a bigger challenge that initially plan.
