Change is related to observing value with an evolving context, and being able to remain relevant by adapting to it. This includes being responsive to stakeholders’ evolving needs, or to evolving regulations, or to an evolving business context. It can, therefore, originate from both internal and/or external sources.
Systems thinking relates to taking a holistic view of a project – understanding a project’s interdependent internal components interacting also with external systems. Taking a systems approach to project management means becoming responsive to systemic changes in order to steer the whole towards value delivery, since change constantly requires attention and dynamic responses.
Tailoring relates to the setup of the project development approach. This is to be defined considering the unique aspects of each project and of each project environment. Tailoring relates to selecting the most appropriate method to deliver the desired outcome, taking into consideration the unique aspects of each project context. Tailoring happens throughout the project, taking into consideration the evolving realities around the project.

Quality relates to the activities set in place to deliver the level of value expected by both the customer and the business. It entails the creation of the ability to satisfy the customer’s stated or implied needs. Quality is evaluated against the acceptance criteria, the definition of “done”, or fitness for use.
With Max Langosco
Stakeholders either influence, or are influenced by the project processes, the project performance, the project outcomes and deliverables. How stakeholders engage with the project will be a key factor in determining the project’s likelihood of success and delivering value.

With Mario Landa
Value relates to continually evaluating and adjusting project alignment to business objectives and to the intended benefits. Understanding value makes delivering project success possible, either at the end of the project or throughout the project life cycle.
Value is rarely only quantitative. In fact, qualitative elements are often key to the proper clarification and understanding of value.
