Are Project Management techniques good for exploring?
Are Projects as “agile” as Viking Ships?

5. Project Management as a
storytelling practice
• A project is a story told in “future perfect
tense”
• In order to
– generate a coherent story about the future.
– Assess ex ante the performance in each
stage without appropriate KPI’s and
benchmarks (generally based on past
experience)
– Motivate teams to action

6. Actions and behaviours
• Without a project there would be no action,
only behaviour.
• When actors decide to implement a project
they become equipped with “in-orderto”motivations
• action is designed and taken “in order to”
realize the projected future state.

7. The story of a banquet
• I will have been happy and
fulfilled
• The Prince will have been
satisfied
• The banquet will have been
great
• The seafood will have been
fresh
• The food will have been
delivered on time
• The seafood menu will have
been special and exciting
• The requirements of the Prince
will have been fully understood
