A
rational approach
to projects requires the use of logical hierarchical structures or
Breakdown Structures
that replicate the way the human mind reacts when facing a problem, namely, breaking it down into sub-problems, in order to analyse them at a greater level of detail.
A project is the result of an idea, more or less destructured (
concept idea
), combining a
why
and a
how
, namely the reason why something new should be created (market demand, unsatisfactory performance, compliance with new regulations, etc.) and how to make the required change in the best possible way (technical, organizational and/or management innovation).
The concept idea is the starting point for defining a structure, known as
PFS
, that describes the functions of the project’s output (a product, a different internal organisation, etc.) in a clear, hierarchical manner.
