Change is changing & our methods need to change too. In health & care, Gantt charts are the dominant method for managing projects. Yet in other sectors, there's a big shift away from them. As change gets more complex, project timelines get shorter & more changes & pivots are needed. In @McKinsey research: - 72% of project managers report Gantt charts become outdated within weeks of creation. - Teams spend an average of 4.5 hours per week just updating project timelines. Modern project management favours layered planning, where, say, quarterly plans outline big-picture goals & weekly plans keep track of immediate tasks.
