Abstract
The current turbulent times call for adaptability, especially in non-repetitive endeavours being
a vital characteristic of project management. The research organized along five objectives
commenced in the autumn of 2008 with a pilot study. Then it proceeded through an inductive
research process, involving a series of interviews with well-recognized international experts
in the field. In addition conceptualized long-running observation of forty-five days was used,
before proposal of a new framework for improving the accuracy of estimates in project
management.
Furthermore, the framework’s “know-how to apply” description have been systematically
reviewed through the course of four hundred twenty-five days of meetings. This achieved
socially agreed understanding assured that it may be possible to improve accuracy of
estimates, while having flexible, adaptable framework exploiting dependency between project
context and conditioned by it, use of tools and techniques.
