| Abstract: | Project management research approach emphasizes the use of application techniques in organizational planning. This article studies the impact of using these formal techniques on the creative problem solving ability of planners. The use of three planning techniques are investigated (Gantt charts, case-based planning and critical path analysis). The findings reveal that planners show higher level of creativity when considering events that have potential to risk reaching a pursued goal. Using cases from memory and planning specific tasks to be executed did not increase the planners creativity in the study. |
