‘Agile’ project management has provided the main paradigm for managing software projects over the past decade, recognizing the inherent uncertainty and volatility in many areas of the work. It is natural to attempt the extension of these methodologies to general knowledge-work projects, i.e. those typically requiring specialist skills and expertise. One of the most appealing characteristics of the approach is the empowerment of teams, which are frequently vested with intellectual autonomy and decision-making responsibility. In this paper we show how modern teams working in these areas can take carriage of the innovation process. We argue that the worth of an innovative idea can only be evaluated rationally if its connection to the ultimate objective is explicit and if it can be properly compared with that of its competitors. Connections are best represented in a network diagram, commonly favored in ideation environments. Nodes here depict not only the solution alternatives and objectives, but drivers, sub-drivers, criteria and other intermediate problem or decision entities through which solutions are expected to exercise their effect on the objective. We propose that once idea generation has been exhausted, the network diagram, useful for discussion and testing connections, be converted to an influence matrix which is much more amenable to analysis and evaluation. From here teams can use AHP/ANP prioritizing techniques to evaluate the relative strength or importance of the influences of outgoing arcs on their immediate neighbors. Conventional ANP methodology can be applied, prioritizing cluster-to-cluster effects to provide a weighted supermatrix and then a limit matrix.

By providing teams with a natural transition to ANP via the influence matrix, they can make rational and transparent decisions instead of subjecting alternatives to a vote or some sort of ranking system as is the common practice. .
