Purpose: This wiki cuts through decades of accumulated project management advice to identify what actually drives outcomes — not just delivery performance. It is selective by design. It names what works, explains why, and is honest about what academia and the profession has overemphasised.
How to use this wiki: Start with Why This Wiki Exists to understand the editorial premise. Then go directly to The 20% That Drives 80% of Outcomes — this is the core of the wiki and where most readers should spend their time. The remaining sections provide supporting evidence, context, and an honest audit of what the profession has historically overemphasised.
