abstract: The MIRT programme and the ideas of complexity and aligning uncertain and unpredictable behaviour of components of a complex adaptive system are contrasting. Therefore, project managers try to find management strategies in order to deal with the duality of control and flexibility. Seven challenges are derived from practice, regarding a tight planning, dealing with a fixed budget, an unclear project description, the continuity of the project management team, the lengthy decision-making process, how organizations deal with the formal institutions and dealing with wicked problems. The theory is suggesting three categories of adaptive measures, that increase the flexibility in the planning process, hence, helping project managers to deal with uncertainty. First, creative capacity ensures a variety of pathways by giving multiple actors and levels access to the planning process. Secondly, learning capacity helps organizations recognizing a changing context faster, hence, accelerate the adaptation process. Thirdly, cooperative capacity initiates a shared vision.
