نادرا ما تكون إدارة المشاريع رحلة سلسة وقابلة للتنبؤ. فالتحديات غير المتوقعة، والمخاطر غير المتوقعة، وظروف السوق المتقلبة يمكن أن تؤدي بسهولة إلى تعطيل حتى أكثر الخطط دقة. أدخل **تخطيط السيناريوهات**، وهي أداة قوية تساعد مديري المشاريع على التحضير للمجهول من خلال التصور الاستباقي للسيناريوهات المستقبلية المحتملة وتطوير استجابات مقابلة لها.
يذهب تخطيط السيناريوهات إلى أبعد من مجرد تقييم المخاطر. فهو ينطوي على:
يجد تخطيط السيناريوهات تطبيقه في سياقات مشروع متنوعة، بما في ذلك:
من خلال تبني تخطيط السيناريوهات، يمكن لمديري المشاريع التنقل في تعقيدات بيئة اليوم الديناميكية، وضمان بقاء مشاريعهم مرنة وقابلة للتكيف، وناجحة في النهاية.

Imagine you are the project manager for the development of a new electric car model. Identify three key uncertainties that could impact your project's success. For each uncertainty, develop two distinct scenarios (optimistic and pessimistic) and describe potential responses for each scenario.
This is an example of a potential answer. The key uncertainties, scenarios, and responses will vary depending on your specific project context.
Uncertainty 1: Government Incentives for Electric Vehicles
Uncertainty 2: Battery Technology Advancement
Uncertainty 3: Competition from Existing Automakers
