The Project Success Method was Agile before Agile existed!
Since 1983, Project Success has used team-driven planning with short-term activity durations between one and two weeks and has recommended ongoing improvements to the project plan through weekly or biweekly updates. Agile methodology was not developed until the early 2000’s.

From Uninformed Optimism to Controlled Confidence
At the start of any project, worry is low – even if the risks are high. Teams are often in what we call the “Uninformed Optimism” phase: everything feels on track, and minor issues are ignored because “there’s still plenty of time.”
But soon, vague concerns begin to emerge – deadlines inch closer, team cohesion starts to fray, and blame starts to creep in. Without a plan rooted in shared accountability, this concern turns to panic, deadlines are missed, budgets are blown, and quality suffers.
And the worst part? It happens again. And again.
The Project Success Method breaks this cycle. It gives teams the structure and ownership they need to manage projects with confidence – before the panic sets in.
