Project Methodologies and Processes

Project Management Methodology is a strictly defined combination of logically related practices,
methods and processes that determine how best to plan, develop, control and deliver a project
throughout the continuous implementation process until successful completion and termination. It is a
scientifically-proven, systematic and disciplined approach to project design, execution and completion .
The purpose of project methodology is to allow for controlling the entire management process through
effective decision making and problem solving, while ensuring the success of specific processes,
approaches, techniques, methods and technologies. Typically, a methodology provides a skeleton for
describing every step in depth, so that a project manager will know what to do in order to deliver and
implement the work according to the schedule, budget and client specification.
Consist Of Project Management Methodology are
1. The Project Life Cycle (PLC) is a collection of logical stages or phases that map a project from
beginning to end. Each phase should provide one or more deliverable.
Stages are :
Initializing - defining project goal, Deliverable: Business Case
Planning - defines scope, schedule, budget, Deliverable: Project Charter and Plan
Executing - manages scope schedule and budget. progress is documented, performance is
communicated to stakeholders. Deliverable: Product
Closing - ensures that all work is completed as planned. Deliverable: final project report and
presentation to the client
Evaluating - Lessons learned, peer evaluation. Deliverable: project evaluation and lessons
2. Phase exits are the end of each phase where a deliverable is provided. Phase exits serve to
identify the different phases and track progress throughout the course of the project.
Kill points are points at which the organization chooses to kill the project. Kill points serve as a
way for the company to shut down the project if it strays too far out of budget or away from the
original project plan.
What is fast tracking fast tracking is when the next phase of the project is started before the
previous phase has been approved. Fast tracking can be used to decrease the projected
schedule. However overlapping phases involves more risk that the previous phase may not be
approved and the work being done on the current phase may have been wasted effort which is
not cost effective.
3. Project Life Cycle – Define and Plan
Sequential phases or stages an information system follows throughout its life.
Planning - formal planning determining scope, schedule and budget.
Analysis - Examine the situation more closely. Learn more about the current situation and what
works and what doesnt. Specific needs and requirements of the project are determined.
Implementation - development or construction of the system, installation and testing.
Maintenance and Support - Changes to the system, newly discovered bugs, enhancements
Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
 Planning
  Analysis
 Design
 Implementation
 Maintenance and Support
Implementing the SDLC
Defines all of the subphases and deliverables associated with the Execute and Control
Project Management Life Cycle phase.
Number of Ways to implement the SDLC
a. Waterfall
b. Agile
Agile Systems Development – What is Agile?
Agile is an iterative approach to project management and software development that helps
teams deliver value to their customers faster and with fewer headaches. 
a. Condenses the SDLC into an iteration or sprint
b. Users and developers work closely together to
c. define and prioritize important (“must have”)
d. features
e. Emphasize working software to measure
f. progress and rely heavily on face-to-face
g. communication
h. Umbrella term that includes a number of
i. approaches or methods
Four Themes or Categories of Agile Systems Development
 Customer
 Product
 Project Team
 Performance
