La gestion de projet est rarement un parcours fluide et prévisible. Des défis inattendus, des risques imprévus et des conditions de marché volatiles peuvent facilement faire dérailler les plans les plus méticuleux. Entrez dans la **planification de scénarios**, un outil puissant qui aide les chefs de projet à se préparer à l'imprévisible en imaginant proactivement des scénarios futurs potentiels et en élaborant des réponses correspondantes.
La planification de scénarios va au-delà de la simple évaluation des risques. Elle implique :
La planification de scénarios trouve des applications dans divers contextes de projet, notamment :
En adoptant la planification de scénarios, les chefs de projet peuvent naviguer dans la complexité de l'environnement dynamique d'aujourd'hui, en veillant à ce que leurs projets restent résilients, adaptables et finalement réussis.

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
