Figure 6: The Project in the Organisational Context 
 
Due to the special project 
characteristics, several project management tools have 
developed over the last decades. Earned Value, Critical Chain, Critical Path, PERT, Gantt 
charts, and Work Breakdown Structures are probably the most popular tools used in 
project management. It seems 
likely that at least some of these tools would influence the 
design of a project reward system. For instance, Earned Value would change the way 
performance is measured. That would change the perception of fairness and that would 
result in a change of motivation, positive or negative.
