2019
As a reaction to the rapidly changing environment, organisations increasingly use agile project management (APM) methods to develop innovation. The associated process changes necessitate the adaption of organisational structures and control systems. This study draws on Simon’s Levers-of-Control framework (LOC) to explore the impact of different control levers on innovation project performance. Based on a survey of 316 project managers and product owners, the results suggest that the use of interactive project control systems and project-internal belief systems has a positive impact on the innovation outcome, regardless of the degree of agility of the project. Furthermore, we reveal that a s…

In the Project Monitoring stage, this chapter explores what happens with foreseen risks, that is, if they really happened or not and their consequences. In the Project Control stage, the chapter uses Earned Value Analysis and examines Performance Factors, which are used to predict completion regarding time and cost. However, because these calculations are based on past performance, there is always the risk that this performance will not be replicated in the future, …
