Extreme project management (XPM) refers to a method of managing very complex and very uncertain projects.

XPM differs from traditional project management discipline mainly in its open, elastic and undeterministic approach. The main focus is on the human side of project management (e.g. managing project stakeholders), rather than on intricate scheduling techniques and heavy formalism.

Other names for extreme project management are:

- radical project management
- agile project management
- project leadership

It is a generalization of extreme programming. Advanced approaches to extreme project management utilize the principles of human interaction management to deal with the complexities of human collaboration.

Looking at business as more than just an activity through which to earn a living, many people today are asking how to leverage business to improve our quality of life.

Broadly speaking, we might say that today there are three ways to approach one’s work: as a job, which offers money; as a career, which may offer money or social status; or as a vocation or calling in which one pursues a deeper sense of fullfillment by using one’s work to a greater purpose such as reducing global poverty or global warming.

What do you think, can we balance these three approaches?
