Summary
In this chapter, we introduced a case study, the Mercury program, which will build a P2P messaging application across multiple ecosystems. We then used the case study to explore a simple program and project intersection discussing various ways to manage status updates. Lastly, we dug deeper into key management areas and refined the definition and roadmap of the Mercury program as a result.
In Chapter 4, we’ll explore one of the most important characteristics of a successful TPM, driving toward clarity. This ability of a TPM to take an ambiguous situation and find or define clarity is what helps us solve problems, find opportunities to reduce risks, and deliver results.
