An Overview of Agile and Predictive Project Management Methodologies

This presentation provides an overview of various project management methodologies, categorizing them into predictive and adaptive approaches. Predictive methodologies include the Waterfall model and PRINCE2, emphasizing structured, sequential processes. The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK) is also highlighted as a key framework. Adaptive methodologies focus on Agile-based project management, covering Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Kanban, and Lean Project Management. The presentation contrasts Scrum, XP, and Kanban, and discusses Lean Project Management's focus on streamlining, waste reduction, and continuous improvement. It concludes by outlining factors influencing the selection of a project methodology, such as project requirements, type, resources, stakeholder expectations, potential changes, risks, and deliverables. The presentation references academic sources to support its discussion.
