Evolutionary Project Management Methods (Evo)

Niels Malotaux coaches projects in applying Evo techniques to deliver better results faster. Projects coached typically are more successful in 30% shorter time.

Niels puts development teams on the Quality On Time track and coaches them to stay there and deliver their quality software or systems on time, without overtime, without the need for excuses. Practical methods are developed, used, taught and continually optimized for:

Within a few weeks of turning a development project into an Evo project, the team has control and can tell the customer when the required features will all be done, or which features will be done at a certain date. Niels enjoys greatly the moments of enlightenment experienced by his clients when they find out that they can do it, that they are really in control, for the first time in their lives.

Those elements of Evo that have crystallized, can be read in the booklets, shown below. The remaining elements of the coaching are still a craft.

Booklet: Evolutionary Project Management Methods

Based on experience gained at Philips in Belgium, where we got a chance to try out the Evo ideas. Issues and first process descriptions. First Published: 2001.

Booklet: How Quality is Assured by Evolutionary Methods

Further Evo experience derived from coaching some 25 projects in 9 organizations. We describe the basic Evo approach, followed by several practical details, which the reader can implement tomorrow in development projects, to increase the quality of the products being developed, as well as decrease the time needed to implement the products.

Booklet: Optimizing the Contribution of Testing to Project Success

How to intergrate the Testing process in Evo projects.

Booklet: Optimizing Quality Assurance for Better Results

Version of the Testing booklet for non-software projects.

Booklet: Controlling Project Risk by Design

Recently, it came to my mind that I hardly think about risk in my projects. Actually, everything we do in projects is about reducing and controlling risk. We just don’t call it risk. In the Evolutionary Project Management approach (Evo) we combine project management, requirements management and risk management into result management.
