Uncertainty in Project Management
We have long noticed that uncertainty has the greatest impact on my projects and the implementation of project management systems. This 'uncertainty' is essentially the inverse measure of knowledge and understanding. If we know everything, have statistics, experience, and established processes, then project management isnโt neededโsimple work administration would suffice...
The full article is here - https://pmdoc.ua/en/uncertainty-in-project-management, and I have the resulting questions:
PMI defines 'uncertainty' as 'a lack of understanding and awareness of issues, events, paths to follow, or solutions to pursue.' It also uses terms like 'degree of uncertainty,' 'measure of uncertainty,' 'amount of uncertainty,' and 'value of uncertainty,' without offering any clear indication of how uncertainty can actually be measured. So:
1. How exactly can uncertainty be measured?
2. What could be the unit of measurement for uncertainty?
