Über diesen Titel

What happens when the mission is clear—but the solution isn’t?

In this episode of Memoirs of a Project Manager, Devon Williams reflects on leading a policy-mandated project to build a racial incident reporting hotline for New Mexico schools while navigating ambiguity, unfinished requirements, and real human impact.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to move a project forward when requirements aren’t fully defined
  • Why iterative planning and prototyping matter in high-stakes work
  • How to navigate vendor relationships when clarity is still emerging
  • What “progressive elaboration” looks like in real life—not the textbook
  • How to design systems responsibly when people, not metrics, are at the center


This memoir bridges real-world experience with core PMP concepts like progressive elaboration and risk management—offering practical insight for project managers, PMP candidates, and anyone building something meaningful under uncertainty.
