Project Management Methodologies
Mei 25, 2007 — amutiaraThe reality is that the project management methodologies available to a project manager are often decided on long before a project starts. In many cases the decision is based on nothing more than “this is what we’ve always done“. At other times, the decision is based on an enterprise-wide initiative to adopt a particular process like the Rational Unified Process. Regardless, it is important to know the various project management methodologies if for no other reason than to be aware of the where their strengths lie and where they fall short.
