Timeline
There exists different type of Project Management Methodologies which can be
implemented in order to achieve success in a project. The Project Management Methodology
is selected in accordance to the type of project that is going to be conducted. Below are listed
some of the project management methodologies which can be used for the different kind of
projects.
1. Waterfall:
Waterfall methodology is considered to be one of the simplest strategy that can be
implemented in a project which is short and is not complicated. Along with this waterfall
methodology can also be considered as a linear and sequential methodology which is
associated with simple listing of the tasks in a sequential way which are checked as he
projects moves forward. In this type of methodology, the tasks cannot be initiated unless and
until the previous task is completed and besides this it is also impossible to return to the
previous task as well (Martinelli and Milosevic 2016).in order to make the waterfall project
management methodology achieve success it is to be made sure that all the steps are being
accomplished and are arranged in a logical chronological order.
2. Agile:
This is the project management methodology that is fast and is also associated with
continuous improvement of the process. This was popularized mainly by the software
developers however this methodology has now been adopted by almost each and every teams
and industries. Agile methodology is associated with the usage of the sprints which are the
short project cycles that are responsible for the continuous release of the enhancements to the
products or services. Besides this the flexibility provided to the sprints is associated with

allowing them in making the last minute changes and this initially results in high quality
deliverable. This type of methodology is best suited for those project teams which require
flexibility and speed.
3. Scrum:
Agile methodology is mostly associated with providing of guiding principles whereas
the scrum methodology is associated with working within the Agile Framework so as to
provide a specific set of rules for the project management. This methodology mainly includes
the processes needed for identification of the tasks, the resources, date for completion and
many more. This methodology is mainly designed so as to ensure fast delivery of the tasks
assisted by rapid feedback cycles and responsive changes (Uhl and Gollenia 2016). Close
collaboration is considered to be the primary element that this methodology is having and the
teams are associated with working upon the sprints together along with conducting short and
daily standup meetings so as to provide reports about the progress. It is essential that each
sprint is associated with the production of the usable products. This methodology is also
considered to be an iterative methodology that is largely used by the software industries for
the purpose of developing a product. However, it is also possible to apply this methodology
in smaller projects which involves high level productivity and requires an intensive rate of
refining.
4. Critical path:
Cases when there is a need of methodology that would be helping in the process of
understanding the interdependency of the resources it is suggested to use to the Critical Path
Method. This is the project management methodology that involves the gathering of the
activities that are required for the purpose of completing a project and also for the purpose of
sorting the activities in accordance to the duration and the dependencies (Marcelino-Sádaba
