Question

Explain how the control of creative projects (R&D type projects) differ from the control of ordinary projects (such as constructing a warehouse).

Answer 1

CREATIVE PROJECTS	ORDINARY PROJECTS
Creative projects mostly don’t have a tightly defined objective. The goals of the project clearer as the project proceeds.	Ordinary projects are pre-defined, goals are properly cleared
The processes used in this seldom follow any strict guide line and they are experimental in nature.	The process is fixed and pre-designed
As creative projects explore new possibility, failure is also possibility and acceptable.	As the process is fixed and pre designed, they do not explore new possibility . failure is not acceptable.
As the risk of failure is high, the need for active involvement of risk management is higher.	As the risk is low, no need of active involvement. It is already defined
