Background of the Article
This particular article and the authors Collyer et al. (2010), states the modern and
contemporary world in the industry where project management is no longer dependant on a
particular fixed environment. It depicts that nowadays, the business environment is more or less
based on the dynamic and rapidly changing environment, on the basis of which the approach
towards project management needs to be changed. This approach changes the traditional lookout
towards a project and is normally oriented around the approaches of a project and its process
control. The article focuses on how the traditional project practitioners have reacted to this
change in project environment and it is found out by both quantitative and qualitative approach.
The collected data have been sourced from various areas to triangulate the results in the
developing of information.
Various questionnaires have been raised to evaluate the reaction of the practitioners and
based on that the authors have reached a conclusion for proposing a theory building study that
aims at identifying the approaches of the project management. Based on the research done with
the project practitioners, the authors have developed a result that would generate a model that
would help in managing projects in a better way given the changing background and dynamic
environment of a project.
The collected data through the interviews have been tallied with the document searching
and field notes with which the results have been formulated (Taylan et al. 2014). On the basis of
that research, the authors have stated that the make-static approach should be followed in order
to make the projects work in a dynamic environment taking care of the minimization of risk with
adaptation of the imperative or change adaptation.
