In addition to the very well-known techniques/lifecycles for project management, I found out that a new technique emerged lately. This new technique highly depends on performing project tasks and phases in a reverse non-organized order! This is known as the Project Baxecution (Project Backward Execution) concept. It embraces the following practices in addition to the Surprise factor which is a common factor at the end of each stage:
- Deliver the project before getting the requirements (because it is not important!) –> Client is surprised
- Test the project after receiving some of the requirements –> Testing team is surprised
- Develop the project after reviewing bugs –> Development team is surprised
- Plan for the project –> Top management is surprised
- Gather the project’s requirements –> Client is surprised again
- Restart the project in the same order, kind of Spiral Development model –> Everyone is surprised!!
Just to clarify, this is a stand-alone technique that has nothing to do with any of the following:
- Agile Project Management model
- Early Feedback concept
- Test Driven Development methodology
- Change Management process
- Any other logical reason, model, process or methodology!
It is purely and literally a Client Driven Development process in which the client knows nothing about his project and the vendor follows him blindly while striving to please him.
Also, please take into consideration that the typical constraints of time, budget and scope should be met while the requirements keep changing and emerging!
Baxecution Projects Framework
- Start with good hopes, intentions and wills to deliver a successful project (a common step projects start with)
- Run with lies totally lacking transparency
- End tragically with loss, kind of divorce like!
Tip: This is a very easy to apply process, all you have to do is to close your eyes! |
