Part Six: Extreme ESPM
In the Extreme approach you are at the edge of the uncertainty and complexity. Not only is there no solution, but also the goal is not even clearly known. There may be a goal—cure world hunger—but no one knows for sure if it is even attainable. Surely something is attainable that is related to the goal, but what is it? That has to be discovered through some Extreme approach. These projects are unique. They are the only types of projects where the goal and the solution are developed in parallel. One informs the other until an end is reached. That end is either acceptable or not. Pure research and development projects are often of this type.
