PROJECT MANAGEMENT
METHODOLOGIES

A Project Management methodology is a set of best practices, tools, and guidelines to help project managers effectively lead their project teams.

Each methodology defines a specific approach to delivering projects.

While each Project Management methodology has different processes and deliverables, they all follow the same basic principles:

  • Planning the project;
  • Executing the work; and
  • Monitoring progress and managing changes to scope

Project Management methodologies come in all shapes and sizes.

The one you choose will depend on the goals of your project, your team size, time frame and project budget.

If you are considering a Project Management methodology for your team, here is an overview of the most popular approaches used in the development process:

Methodology

Explanation

  • Waterfall
waterfall-methodology-700x400

The Waterfall methodology is a process that proceeds through specific sequential phases to deliver a product successfully.

This linear approach is often used when the requirements of a project are well understood by the client and work has been clearly defined, especially at the start of the project.

The Waterfall Project Management methodology assumes that you will gather all your requirements upfront before beginning.

Use Waterfall for projects where the goals are clearly defined and won’t change throughout the development.

  • Agile
agile-methodology-700x400
Instead of following a linear and sequential process, teams who use the Agile approach work on projects in short bursts called sprints.

These brief sprints allow Project Managers and their team to continually re-evaluate and improve the project rather than creating a plan at the beginning of the project and sticking to it no matter what happens.

Use Agile for projects where product requirements are uncertain and open for changes.

This approach is highly flexible and allows to adapt the development process to new requirements when needed.

It also allows analyzing the market and continuously working on product improvement by adding new features.

  • Scrum
scrum-methodology-700x400
Scrum is not a methodology; it is a highly iterative, Agile project management framework.

It is designed to help teams break down their projects into small iterations and deliver value in a short time span.

Scrum is best used when you have complex projects and cross-functional work that needs to be completed quickly and without unnecessary process or hierarchy.

Use Scrum for projects where product requirements change frequently and when you have small development teams, where everyone is free to share ideas and feedback.

This approach allows the team to frequently interact with clients or end-users and to see continual progress.

  • Kanban
kanban-methodology-700x400
Kanban is a Project Management system that utilises visual cues to help workers stay on track and complete tasks.

The Kanban board allows the user to monitor workflow, and the cards within each board can be colour-coded to show what phase of production each task is in.

Use Kanban for projects that require a constant visual representation of the progress.

Kanban has a strict model of dividing tasks by stages, as all team members can clearly see what tasks are to be done, what is in progress, and what is already done.

Compared to Scrum where all processes require high control over what is in scope, Kanban lets you go with the flow.

  • Scrumban
Scrumban-methodology-700x400
The Scrumban methodology is a subset of the Agile framework, combining the benefits of Scrum and Kanban Project Management methodologies.

It uses a mix-and-match approach that allows you to pick what elements from each methodology will work best for your team.

Scrum tries to improve the way teams manage their projects, emphasising planning and scheduling.

On the other hand, Kanban is all about limiting work-in-progress (WIP) and improving efficiency by eliminating waste.

When you combine elements from both PM methodologies, you get a flexible approach that allows your team to adapt as needed.

This Agile Project Management methodology is best used when your team has an ongoing stream of work or if it works on multiple projects at once.

It is also helpful if you have unpredictable workloads — so if there are frequent scope changes or unforeseen problems pop up often — because it offers flexibility and regular feedback loops.

Use Scrumban for projects that require using the best features of Scrum and Kanban approaches simultaneously.
