2PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIESTask AProject Management for Software Development CompanyClient A is one of the software development companies that develop projects mainlyfor the start-up enterprises. The small and medium-sized companies are basically focussed ondeveloping the small applications to test the current market scenario. Those companies arefocussed on to turn their ideas into cash flow. The enterprises have no definite plan. Theyhave multiple demands and are constantly changing plans (Moran 2015). Client A follows thetraditional project methodology model that is the Waterfall model. The waterfall model isreally very difficult to follow when the clients are constantly making changes in theirdeliverables. The waterfall model considers a fixed deliverable from the beginning and worksuntil the end. However, Client A can take up the agile methodology on their premises to solvethe customers’ queries and the customers’ demands. The Agile methods are capable ofworking on sudden deliverables change and within a short duration of time. The Agilemethodologies are best suited for carrying out the small IT projects so Client A adopting theAgile methods can assist in developing Pizzahut style website for the fish and chops store(White and Fellow 2014). The agile method provides better customer satisfaction, relativelyfaster development times. The agile method also gives less error-prone solutions. The agilemethod is known to provide solutions to rapidly changing requirements. SCRUM is the Agileframework that is capable of complicated projects. SCRUM consist project managementprinciples for the small-managed teams and the small cross-sectional teams. SCRUMdemands every team member will work together from the beginning. The agile methodology applies to provide better adaptability to the procedures, marketand the technology. Thus Client A following the project methodologies can be highlybenefitted. They must listen to the customers’ demands and should prepare deliverables basedon the demands and requirements. Client A after sending the deliverables to the customers
3PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIESshould wait for the approval. If the customers approve the deliverables, Client A should startworking on that and should make a partial solution (Conforto et al. 2014). After that, theymust send the parts to the customers. The customers will have to approve the partial only thenthat can continue working on the rest of the assignment. If the clients want changes, then theyshould inform Client A. The Client A will then make changes accordingly. Similarly, in caseof fish and chips store, Clint A must apply the same. The store is constantly making changesin deliverables and wants a website which will be similar to the Pizzahut or Domino website.Client A should develop the website in the form of partial and should get it reviewed by thefish and chips store (Layton and Ostermiller 2017). The fish and chips store can either getsatisfied by the IT project or can be dissatisfied with the project. In that case, Client A willhave to do the rework. The rework will be less hectic, and it will save a lot of time. ThusClient A can serve well to the customers; the agile methodology can help Client A to developa website that can facilitate the business of the fish and chips store.

5PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIESTask BProject Management in engineering and construction domain1. PMBoK illustration for the given statementWaterfall provides a basic route for the project management. On the other hand, thePMBOK provides a series of techniques and methodologies to manage the project moreeffectively. PMBOK follows on the five groups - Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring,Controlling and Closing (Pm 2000). PMBoK is far more organized compared to Waterfallmethodology. PMBoK with the aid of the five groups can enhance the project methodology.Therefore, I completely agree with the statement. In case of the waterfall model, the projectschedule, the project budget, and the deadlines are fixed from the beginning, and the projectbudget and deliverables cannot be changed in between. PMBoK follows the same rule that isin case of PMBoK, the project schedule, the project budget and the project deliverables areall set initially at the beginning, and that cannot be changed (Guide 2004). However, at first,the project is initiated then the entire project is planned. After that the project gets executedstep by step then the entire project is monitored. The project is checked and monitoredwhether the project is meeting all the deliverables or not (Snyder 2014). If the project getsconfirmed by the customer, then the project is closed.2. PMBoK approach for Client B and procedures on how PMBoK processes should bearranged into a step-wise methodology for typical projects in Client B’s company. The client B operates in the construction domain; they are pioneers in providingquality design homes for the Australians since the 1990s. Barbara always tries to implementthe PMBoK in his enterprise. However, he fails to implement the same. Barbara is not awarehow PMBoK work. The entire construction phase can be divided into two stages- pre-constructions and the construction (Zwikael 2009). Barbara should take into consideration the
