Flexible Projects. Using Real Options to Deliver Target Benefits (en Inglés) - Gloria J. Miller

Projects fail not because leaders lack intelligence or effort - but because uncertainty is treated as a problem to eliminate rather than a condition to manage.

Traditional project models assume stable plans and predictable outcomes. Reality is different. Markets shift, technology evolves, regulations change, and stakeholder priorities realign. When uncertainty rises, rigid execution destroys value.

This book gives project leaders, portfolio executives, and governance professionals a practical framework for designing flexibility into investments from the start. By integrating Real Options Analysis with project governance, it shows how to stage capital commitments, expand when evidence supports it, limit downside exposure, and make disciplined stop-or-scale decisions without requiring a financial modeling background.

A structured implementation process, worked valuation model, and full illustrative case make the framework immediately applicable.

Projects do not fail less because uncertainty disappears.

They fail less because uncertainty is structured and governed deliberately.
