Boundary Management for CAD

I have used a method of management in many areas of my career that defines not the target, but the boundary limits of a successful task or function.  When I started looking on the internet for supporting documents to what I thought was fairly commonly used, I found very little.  What I did find was spot on, but not very extant.

I have not fully defined when to use what I call Boundary Management, but I can give you a few examples.  I think it is a change in perspective that makes a few things easier and works well in some cases, but not all.

  • It can make delegations easier

  • It can make defining CAD Guidelines easier

  • It can allow flexibility while still following the rules

Applying Boundary Management

Boundary Management is a vital tool for any manager as long as it is applied correctly.  It must be used at the right time, in the right way and in the right situation.

Boundary Management as previously defined is loosely defining the target and setting up limits. It is not creating a bull's eye, but rather a ballpark.

So when do you use this method of management?

When should you not use Boundary Management?

There are several areas that come to mind where this kind of management style may not work well.  If is is used in the wrong way or for the wrong issue, it may actually cause more problems.
