Andrew Sparks wrote last year a great post about the use of OODA loops in Project Management. The article itself will keep your mind busy for a while, but wait until you read the comments from Andrew and Christian Salmon:
“Here is (roughly), the project management problem I am trying to solve. Say that you have a software development project with coders in multiple countries, time zones, and cultures. How does the project manager direct and control a project without lengthy status meetings at ungodly hours? We need a system that does not require direct communication or direction – this is where OODA helps. Next we need clear ground rules for team participants. This is the theory I am working out. My draft nickname for this system is “Two Yeses”.”
