Context Driven Project Management
Transform project management with a living Single Source of Truth, enabling continuous intelligence and real-time adaptation.
Executive Summary
The Challenge
Project management faces a structural problem: Classic methods work with rigid plans and scattered artifacts, while agile approaches work with isolated sprints without overall visibility. Both emerged before modern AI and lack the foundation needed for transformative intelligence.
The CDPM Solution
CDPM is a method-agnostic meta-framework that makes projects holistically AI-ready without replacing either Agile or classic PM. It establishes the project context as a living Single Source of Truth (SSOT) — a consistently complete and current model of the project reality.
The CDPM Cycle:
Context → Analysis → Guidance → Updates → Context (rolling, SSOT leads)
Projected Effects in Pilots
- Multiplied AI effectiveness — from sporadic support to holistic project intelligence
- Rolling status analysis & forecast — dynamic project status minimizing separate planning
- Transparent goal tracking — context-based action items reveal gaps early
- Holistic project triad — Time-budget-scope effects visible with every decision
Four Building Blocks
Context
Structured project state including goals, scope, timeline, budget, risks, dependencies, and action items - all semantically linked.
Analysis
Continuous verification of completeness, plausibility, consistency, and goal alignment. What-if scenarios in real-time.
Guidance
Goal-based prioritization of action items. Impact on success criteria drives decisions, not capacity.
Updates
Raw signals distilled into atomic changes. Each distillate validated before merging into context.
Role Model & Governance
Project Owner (PRO)
Guardian of Context - Responsible for integrity, completeness, and correctness of the project context. Validates distillates.
Stakeholders
Content decision makers who make technical trade-offs and approve effects on time/budget/scope.
AI Assistance
Catalyst that analyzes context, provides guidance, and suggests distillations. Works strictly: read → propose → justify.
