Abstract
In this article, I explore how the traditional

understanding of uncertainty in project management

can be revised in light of the philosophical

input from Kierkegaard, Dewey,

and Wittgenstein. Planning models of projects

tend to view uncertainty as a threat

to successful project implementation. An

alternative approach can emerge from a

philosophical investigation of the potentials

embedded in surprising turns of events.

It is possible to retain a planning orientation

to projects while also embracing uncertainty

as a potentially energizing dimension

of projects—one that can activate positive

personal and collective drama in project

management.
