The Project Management World Today april 2003 editorial is right on target. (it's also a lot of fun listening to Mr. Curling in real audio). Mr Curling echoes the comments I made to you, Hal, on another platform about the fact that one cannot manage a project with the PMBoK as a roadmap. Your title for introducing your comments on this editorial says it all : Context is everything. And this is particularly why agile and lean methods attract interest now and are bound to give better results than the traditional non-context process proposed elsewhere (!!!): Agile et al. are «context-friendly»!
