===== project_management:methodologies =====

This section provides an overview of various project management methodologies used to guide project execution, focusing on their principles, approaches, and applications.

==== Agile Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:agile}}  
  Overview of the Agile methodology, which promotes iterative development, flexibility, and customer collaboration.

===== project_management:methodologies:agile:principles =====
  - Iterative development with regular feedback loops.
  - Flexibility to change course based on customer needs.
  - Collaboration and self-organizing teams.
  - Continuous improvement through retrospectives.

===== project_management:methodologies:agile:frameworks =====
  - {{project_management:methodologies:agile:scrum}}  
    Scrum framework for managing tasks in fixed-length iterations, called sprints.

- {{project_management:methodologies:agile:kanban}}  
    Kanban for visualizing workflows and continuous delivery.

- {{project_management:methodologies:agile:xp}}  
    Extreme Programming (XP) for improving software quality through frequent releases and close collaboration.

===== project_management:methodologies:agile:benefits =====
  - Increased flexibility and adaptability.
  - Faster delivery of functional features.
  - Stronger customer satisfaction through continuous feedback.

==== Waterfall Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:waterfall}}  
  Traditional methodology where projects progress through sequential phases, from initiation to closure.

===== project_management:methodologies:waterfall:phases =====
  - Requirements Gathering  
  - Design  
  - Development  
  - Testing  
  - Deployment  
  - Maintenance

===== project_management:methodologies:waterfall:benefits =====
  - Clear structure with defined project phases.
  - Easier to manage with a fixed scope and timeline.
  - Well-suited for projects with clear, unchanging requirements.

==== Lean Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:lean}}  
  Lean methodology focuses on maximizing value by minimizing waste and optimizing processes.

===== project_management:methodologies:lean:principles =====
  - Value: Focus on what delivers value to the customer.
  - Value Stream: Identify and optimize the flow of work.
  - Flow: Ensure smooth progression of tasks.
  - Pull: Work is done based on demand, not by push.
  - Perfection: Continuously improving the processes.

===== project_management:methodologies:lean:benefits =====
  - Increased efficiency by reducing waste.
  - Faster delivery times through optimized processes.
  - Higher customer satisfaction by focusing on value.

==== Six Sigma ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:six_sigma}}  
  Six Sigma methodology focuses on improving the quality of processes by identifying and removing causes of defects and variability.

===== project_management:methodologies:six_sigma:phases =====
  - Define  
  - Measure  
  - Analyze  
  - Improve  
  - Control (DMAIC)

===== project_management:methodologies:six_sigma:benefits =====
  - Reduced process variation and defects.
  - Enhanced quality and consistency.
  - Improved customer satisfaction and cost reduction.

==== PRINCE2 Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:prince2}}  
  PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments) is a process-driven methodology emphasizing control, organization, and clear documentation.

===== project_management:methodologies:prince2:principles =====
  - Focus on business justification.
  - Learn from experience.
  - Define roles and responsibilities.
  - Manage by stages and exception.

===== project_management:methodologies:prince2:benefits =====
  - Clear project structure and defined stages.
  - Scalability for different project sizes.
  - Strong focus on project governance and risk management.

==== Critical Path Method (CPM) ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:cpm}}  
  The Critical Path Method (CPM) is used to determine the longest sequence of tasks required to complete a project, helping to identify bottlenecks.

===== project_management:methodologies:cpm:steps =====
  - List all tasks and their durations.
  - Identify dependencies between tasks.
  - Determine the critical path.
  - Monitor and manage task progress.

===== project_management:methodologies:cpm:benefits =====
  - Helps in effective resource allocation and scheduling.
  - Identifies key tasks that must be completed on time.
  - Reduces the risk of delays by focusing on critical tasks.

==== Hybrid Methodologies ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:hybrid}}  
  Hybrid methodologies combine elements of Agile and traditional project management approaches, tailoring them to specific project needs.

===== project_management:methodologies:hybrid:examples =====
  - {{project_management:methodologies:hybrid:agile_waterfall}}  
    A blend of Agile flexibility and Waterfall's structured phases, often used for larger projects with both stable and evolving requirements.

- {{project_management:methodologies:hybrid:scrum_with_cpm}}  
    Combining Scrum’s iterative approach with the Critical Path Method for effective task prioritization and scheduling.

===== project_management:methodologies:hybrid:benefits =====
  - Flexibility to adapt to project needs and changes.
  - Enhanced control with structured phases and timelines.
  - Suitable for complex projects with diverse requirements.

==== Best Practices ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:best_practices}}  
  Best practices for implementing and choosing the right methodology for your project.

- {{project_management:methodologies:best_practices:alignment}}  
    Align project methodology with organizational goals and team capabilities.
  
  - {{project_management:methodologies:best_practices:adaptation}}  
    Tailor the methodology to the unique needs of each project.

- {{project_management:methodologies:best_practices:continuous_improvement}}  
    Encourage teams to continuously assess and improve the methodology for each project phase.

==== References ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:references}}
