Decoding Palantir: How “Problem Definition” Bridges Project Management and Ontology
A story about the Ontology approach from a PM work perspective, which addresses ‘acceptance criteria management’ and Legacy system integration issues, as well as converting manufacturing floor workers’ tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge and connecting it.
What may sound like a simple consulting statement actually contains deeply embedded, meticulous project management (PM) strategies to prevent large-scale SI project failures, as well as a technical philosophy (Ontology) that has evolved through overcoming complex government and defense data environments.
Today, I would like to reinterpret Palantir’s “problem definition” approach from two perspectives: establishing the PM’s ‘Definition of Done’ and data modeling to overcome legacy environments.
