The basis behind any project management system is a comprehensive methodology of practice. In simple terms, this
methodology can make or break an effective implementation of industry best practices
balanced with the proprietary differentiators of each organization.
An effective process must be comprehensively adaptable and universally applied, as well
as embrace an organization's proprietary differentiators. For example, if one of the
objectives of a Project Management Process is to increase the satisfactory results of
Six Sigma improvement projects, then the system must account for several data points
that are not part of a "traditional" project management process.
Project Incentives often incorporates a client's own process management elements into educational
materials. Whether it's proprietary methodologies or terminology specific to a particular department,
industry or regulation, Project Incentives will adapt to create the best results for each
organization. A project management methodology is a basic, disciplined, and structured
approach to managing projects. It addresses all phases of project management from concept
to completion. Project management methodologies integrate scope, quality, time, costs,
risk, human resources, contract, and communications management.
Project management methodologies are designed to assist project managers in meeting project-related
challenges by providing guidance on the application of project management techniques within a
framework that recognizes the interactions between a project and the related corporate environment.
For a tighter integration of methodologies, practices and tools, a clear "Methodology Roadmap" can be
integrated into the Microsoft Project Guide. Effective use of
Project Guide Development
can dramatically reduce implementation timelines.
