12.2 Fundamental Principles of Evolutionary Project Management
Tom Gilb · INCOSE International Symposium · 2005
Abstract The Evolutionary Project Management method – abbreviated Evo – is arguably the best systems engineering project management method (Larman and Basili 2003). However, it is also probably the least known and the least discussed, so the aim of this paper is to shed some light on it. Evo is particularly good at dealing with large, complex, and innovative systems – it does so by breaking down the project into a series of numerous small incremental steps. Each Evo step is both an opportunity to deliver some useful results to the stakeholders, and an opportunity to learn more about the system.
