Task 1
The project management methodologies that could be related in context to contemporary
global projects are being discussed as follows:
1. Agile Methodology – This methodology is recognized as one of the most recognizable
kind of project management methodology. The methodology is thus considered as highly
suitable for such kind of projects, which are incremental and iterative in nature (Getto 2015).
Based on using this methodology, agile methodology follows a certain process in which the
made demands and the proposed solutions would continuously evolve through the main effort of
self-organizing of many cross-functional teams along with the customers.
Advantages – The advantages of using Agile within contemporary global projects are:
a. A continuous attention is put on good design and high form of technical excellence.
The project manager continuously evolve their techniques to incorporate the best methods.
b. Change in circumstances would help diverse teams to adapt accordingly (Cooper
2016).
c. Late kind of changes within the requirements could be accommodated.
Disadvantages – The disadvantages of using Agile within contemporary global projects
are:
a. Certain lacks in documentation and designing could be faced during continuous
updates.

b. Senior management is only involved during making critical decisions during critical
states.
c. Project following this methodology could get off the track if any of the requirements
specified by customer would not be integrated.
2. Waterfall Methodology – The Waterfall methodology is considered as the most
traditional mode of conduction project management activities. The methodology follows a
sequential and linear design approach in which the progress of tasks occurs in one direction. The
methodology was primarily been used in construction and manufacturing industries (Quist 2015).
Due to the structured form of physical environments and lack of flexibility approaches during
changes in design, the methodology incurs more expenses towards projects.
Advantages – The advantages of using the methodology in projects are:
a. Each phase should be properly completed before progressing to the next steps of the
project.
b. The methodology is primarily used for smaller projects in which the requirements
would be well-defined.
c. Elaborate documentation would be required at every phase of the concerned project.
Disadvantages - The disadvantages of using the methodology in projects are:’
a. Any errors made could only be fixed during that particular phase.
b. The methodology is not suitable for complex projects in which there are constant
changes in requirements (Krusche and Bruegge 2017).
