Proposed emergency incident management using Extreme Project Management

摘要

Accidents are unpredictable and unexpected but trigger a certain level of emergency. During an emergency, the situation is chaotic, risky and unknown. Managing an emergency require a different approach compared to traditional methods of managing day to day situations. In the framework proposed, an emergency is viewed as an extreme project. Hence, this paper proposes the use of Extreme Project Management (XPM) as the methodology for managing minor outdoor emergency incidents through a mobile application. Confronted by an emergency, the application user is guided to act accordingly based on the programmed scenarios. Currently we have programmed a few emergency scenarios and the XPM is able to handle the incidents better than traditional methods.
