Navigating the Methodology Landscape

Selecting a project methodology, like selecting a project leader, is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Each combination of organization, objectives, and opportunities demands different decisions concerning how the effort is marshaled, managed, and monitored. This interactive session aims to deconflict the antagonistic views and marketing hype of the hardcore Waterfall and Agile advocates, to uncover a landscape full of contextually-dependent tools and techniques to manage projects successfully. We will discuss a different way to consider our available methodologies to escape from the made-for-marketing divisions that push well-intentioned practitioners and organizations to commit to a single project management methodology at all times and in all places.
