Management By Project vs. Management By Objectives
by: Garry L. Booker, PMI Tulsa Chapter, Project Frontier®

What is Management by Project (MBP)? In the marketplace of ideas, MBP is a direct competitor to Management by Objectives (MBO) - the prevailing style of organizational management for over 50 years. MBP is relatively new, but it is a very potent improvement over MBO. That's why I believe MBP is the next great frontier of organizational leadership and organizational management - if we can give MBP a strong foundation. This article defines MBP in a new way, so that it is more competitive with MBO. This article also shows how MBP can benefit from the "radically simple" implementation of Earned Value Management (EVM) that we explored in the previous two articles in this series [1][2].
