A Project Management Causal Loop Diagram
نویسنده
چکیده
System dynamics principles and analytical tools have the potential to alleviate several deficiencies in current project management analytical techniques. This paper facilitates the integration of system dynamics into project management by providing an overview of system dynamics principles, summarizing the deficiencies in current project management approaches, and presenting a causal loop diagram of a generic project management system. The feedback loops in the diagram explains how what appear to be rational project management actions can lead to unintended and counterintuitive consequences.

متن کاملAn Interpretive Approach to Drawing Causal Loop Diagrams
Abstract Causal loop diagram largely influences the effectiveness of system dynamics. The complex interpretive nature of management problems makes it difficult to recognize all the existing causal loop relations. In order to build system dynamics models for ill-defined problems, "Group Model-Building" is developed. As discussed by Vennix, one source of these messy situations is different percep...
