rly want a group task tool that supports uncertainty, multiple branches, estimation, and updates -- essentially a file format for strategy, rather than for tracking day-to-day work
for big uncertain R&D projects where you have to shuffle priorities of parallel tracks based on progress + new information
- acidburnNSA 5y agoThere was an attempt to do something like this for R&D planning back in the 60s called GERT [1] (Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique) that I suspect was just a little ahead of its time. I consider the R&D project planning with uncertainty space absolutely ripe for disruption. Schedules and plans stale quickly and are redone basically from scratch again and again in the face of big uncertainties. But strategies linking objectives and abstract actions through concrete activities and facilities could live on as uncertainties resolve and overall be extremely useful.
