PROJECT METHODOLOGIES AND PROCESSES
Project methodology
:explode:A strategic-level plan for managing and controlling the project
:explode:Game plan for implementing project and product lifecycles
:explode:Recommends phases, processes, tools, and techniques for supporting an IT project
:explode:Must be flexible and include “best practices” learned from experiences over time.
The project life cycle.
Collection of logical stages or phases:
:confetti_ball:maps the life of a project
:confetti_ball:from its beginning, through its middle, to its end
:confetti_ball:to define, build, and deliver the product.
Project Phase
Phase Exits, Stage Gates, Kill Points
:star:These are the phase-end review of key deliverables
:star:Allows the organization to evaluate project performance and take immediate action to correct errors or problems
Fast Tracking
:star:Starting the next phase of a project before approval is obtained for the current phase
:star:Can be used to reduce the project schedule
:star:Can be risky and should only be done when the risk is acceptable

Project Life Cycle
Define project Goal
:<3:The : project goal should be focused on providing business value to the organization
:<3:Provides a clear focus and drives the other phases of the project
:<3:How will we know if this project is successful given the time, money, and resources invested?
Plan Project
:<3:Project Objectives
:<3:Resources
:<3:Controls
Execute Project Plan
:<3:Manage the project scope, schedule, budget, and people to ensure the project achieves its goal
:<3:Progress must be documented and compared to the baseline plan
:<3:Project performance must be communicated to all of the stakeholders

Close and Evaluate Project
:<3:Ensures that all of the work is completed as planned
:<3:Final project report and presentation to the client
:<3:Postmortem review
:<3:Lessons learned and best practices documented and shared

Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
SDLC
:pencil2:Planning
:pencil2:Analysis
:pencil2:Design
:pencil2:Implementation
:pencil2:Maintenance and Support
:pencil2: SDLC Defines all of the subphases and deliverables associated with the Execute and Control Project Management Life Cycle phase.
:pencil2:Number of ways to implement SDLC :
:fountain_pen:Waterfall
:fountain_pen:Agile
Agile Systems Development
:pencil2:Condenses the SDLC into an iteration or sprint
:pencil2:Users and developers work closely together to define and prioritize important (“must have”) features
:pencil2:Emphasize working software to measure progress and rely heavily on face-to-face communication
:pencil2:Umbrella term that includes a number of approaches or methods
