I picked up a project from someone else not that long ago and I was three months into my management of it before I realized there wasn't a project charter. There were lots of other documents that all had a degree of overlap with a charter, but not an actual charter. That meant there were some key things missing from the project's paperwork and the most important thing missing was which budget was going to pay for it.

Predictive management and empirical management offer distinct approaches to handling complex work. Predictive management operates on the premise that the future course of work can be anticipated at the outset. This approach assumes that with enough planning and analysis, one can lay out a detailed roadmap for the work and follow it rigorously. The focus here is on careful upfront planning, with an expectation that the work will unfold as anticipated once these plans are set.
