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

This section provides an overview of various project management methodologies, including Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, and other approaches commonly used in project management.

==== Agile Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:agile}}  
  Agile methodology promotes iterative development, flexibility, and continuous customer feedback to guide project execution.

===== project_management:methodologies:agile:principles =====
  - Iterative development with regular feedback loops.
  - Flexibility to change direction based on customer needs.
  - Close collaboration within self-organizing teams.
  - Focus on delivering working software over comprehensive documentation.

===== project_management:methodologies:agile:frameworks =====
  - {{project_management:methodologies:agile:scrum}}  
    Scrum for managing work in fixed-length sprints, often with roles like Scrum Master and Product Owner.

- {{project_management:methodologies:agile:kanban}}  
    Kanban for visualizing workflows, focusing on continuous delivery with limited work in progress.

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

===== project_management:methodologies:agile:benefits =====
  - Increased flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.
  - Faster delivery of value through iterative cycles.
  - Enhanced team collaboration and customer engagement.

==== Scrum Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:scrum}}  
  Scrum is a framework for Agile project management focusing on sprints, Scrum roles, and daily standups to keep teams on track.

===== project_management:methodologies:scrum:principles =====
  - Work in time-boxed sprints (usually 2-4 weeks).
  - Regular Scrum ceremonies like Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, and Sprint Retrospectives.
  - Clear roles: Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Scrum Team.

===== project_management:methodologies:scrum:benefits =====
  - Enhanced focus with regular iterations.
  - Continuous improvement through retrospectives.
  - High visibility of project progress via Scrum boards.

==== Kanban Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:kanban}}  
  Kanban is a flow-based system focusing on visualizing work, limiting work-in-progress (WIP), and ensuring continuous delivery.

===== project_management:methodologies:kanban:principles =====
  - Visualize the workflow using boards and cards.
  - Limit work in progress (WIP) to prevent bottlenecks.
  - Manage flow by tracking and optimizing task movement.

===== project_management:methodologies:kanban:benefits =====
  - Continuous flow and delivery of value.
  - Improved team focus and reduced context switching.
  - Increased visibility of work status and potential bottlenecks.

==== Waterfall Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:waterfall}}  
  Waterfall is a traditional project management methodology that follows a sequential, phase-based approach.

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

===== project_management:methodologies:waterfall:benefits =====
  - Clear, structured phases with defined deliverables.
  - Predictable timelines and fixed scope.
  - Well-suited for projects with stable and well-understood requirements.

==== Lean Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:lean}}  
  Lean methodology emphasizes maximizing customer value by minimizing waste and improving process efficiency.

===== project_management:methodologies:lean:principles =====
  - Focus on value creation for the customer.
  - Eliminate waste and inefficiencies in processes.
  - Continuous improvement through feedback and iteration.

===== project_management:methodologies:lean:benefits =====
  - Streamlined workflows with reduced waste.
  - Faster delivery and increased customer satisfaction.
  - Better resource utilization.

==== Six Sigma Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:six_sigma}}  
  Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology aimed at improving quality by identifying and eliminating defects.

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

===== project_management:methodologies:six_sigma:benefits =====
  - Improved process quality and reduced defects.
  - Enhanced consistency and reliability in project outcomes.
  - Data-driven decision making for process improvement.

==== PRINCE2 Methodology ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:prince2}}  
  PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments) is a structured project management methodology emphasizing stages, processes, and clear documentation.

===== project_management:methodologies:prince2:principles =====
  - Focus on business justification for every project.
  - Defined roles and responsibilities.
  - Staged approach with detailed documentation.

===== project_management:methodologies:prince2:benefits =====
  - Structured, clear processes for managing risks and issues.
  - Strong governance and control mechanisms.
  - Scalable and adaptable for different project sizes.

==== Hybrid Methodologies ====
- {{project_management:methodologies:hybrid}}  
  Hybrid methodologies combine elements from Agile, Waterfall, and other approaches to adapt to specific project needs.

===== project_management:methodologies:hybrid:examples =====
  - {{project_management:methodologies:hybrid:agile_waterfall}}  
    A blend of Agile flexibility with the structure of Waterfall, commonly used in larger projects or those with both stable and changing requirements.

- {{project_management:methodologies:hybrid:scrum_with_cpm}}  
    Combining Scrum’s iterative approach with the Critical Path Method (CPM) to prioritize tasks and manage project schedules effectively.

===== project_management:methodologies:hybrid:benefits =====
  - Flexibility to adapt based on project characteristics.
  - A balanced approach for projects requiring both structure and adaptability.
  - Suitable for complex projects that need the strengths of multiple methodologies.

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

- {{project_management:methodologies:best_practices:alignment}}  
    Ensure the methodology aligns with project objectives, team capabilities, and stakeholder expectations.
  
  - {{project_management:methodologies:best_practices:adaptation}}  
    Tailor methodologies to suit the unique context and challenges of each project.

- {{project_management:methodologies:best_practices:continuous_improvement}}  
    Regularly review and adapt your project management approach based on feedback and lessons learned.
