In complex and highly regulated projects like medical device development, changes are bound to happen. Design updates, documentation revision, and process adjustments are required to ensure compliance...

As much as learning from mistakes is important for future projects, it should also be important to use the lessons learned in real-time for decision makings during the project, not just as something t...

You raise an interesting point, others have mentioned already that EV, PV, and AC only show the symptoms of a project failing and do not explain why. Another shortcoming of earned value management is ...

One common way to foster team and individual developments is through peer mentorship and knowledge-sharing sessions. Less experienced team members are usually paired with professionals, and shadow the...

Asynchronous communication offers an alternative for small weekly meetings where everyone meets up for a status update. Instead of having excessive meetings, projects teams use tools like Slack, Trell...

One way to improve QA for medical devices is implementing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which provides a direct pipeline for patients to communicate their experience and outcomes. PROMs a...

Using Adaptive project governance can help with maintaining a balance between control and flexibility. Instead of every step being micromanaged, a leadership team can set the overall goals and milesto...

implementing cross-team training programs to promote communication between teams can allow for teams to have a understanding of each groups priorities, and make it less likely that there will be a del...

Using a extreme project management (XPM) framework is one possible solution. It provides a highly adaptive framework that uses rapid iterations and short term dynamics cycles where elements of the pro...

One approach that some projects use to manage scope creep and task delays is the Event Chain Methodology or ECM. ECM identifies potential event chains that can kickstart due to unexpected events and c...

Instead of having one fixed critical path over the entire project, breaking the work into smaller pieces and having multiple critical paths for each phase allows for some leeway to reassess the next c...

The estimation methods you presented provide a fixed schedule of expected task durations. Another approach that should be considered is dynamic scheduling through real-time data integration. By consid...

One thing to consider with medical devices is that they don't all carry the same level of risks, hence the classification. Implementing different risk-adaptive techniques for different classifications...

Some responses already mention ways to increase innovation during a project by using software to communicate throughout the project team effectively or having a change in project structure. Another im...
