About this Presentation
Upstream processes (R&D, element development, requirement definition, etc.) in project environments tend to be more highly uncertain than downstream processes (design, development, verification, evaluation, etc.), and it is very difficult to manage those well with conventional methods. This presentation introduces how to build functional/efficient management in the upstream process using two concepts: Gradual full kit (proper full kit in each phase) and Velocity-based management (Agile-CCPM) based on Critical Chain Project Management.
