Waterfall Project Management Methodology Where software development is concerned, Waterfall was the first project management methodology. It stems from the construction industry, where changes are very difficult - once you’ve built a large bridge, for example, it’s very difficult to turn back and improve the structures. This inability to respond easily to repeated change leaves some feeling that Waterfall project management is not well suited to software development.

There’s a fine balance to be had between meddling in your team’s to-do lists and ensuring that the workload is equal and fair for everyone. One of the most critical parts of a manager’s job is to get that balance right. Project teams look to you to clarify what they should be doing and when. But they don’t want you hovering over their shoulder as they tick off every task.

What is Agile Project Management? Agile Project Management was first given life in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, also known as the Agile Manifesto of 2001. The Agile movement was sparked by the need to better develop software while helping others to do the same. Now, Agile is in almost every sector of the economy, including manufacturing, retail, petroleum, and human resources.

The Detailed Comparison of Kanban vs Scrum vs Agile It can be difficult for project managers to keep up with the ever-evolving methodologies that can benefit their teams.

We all learn something new every day. In fact, the majority of our most useful skills come from looking up stuff in the heat of things. Think researching a recipe on youtube before a party, using a blog post to figure out how to troubleshoot your smartphone, asking a motor enthusiast friend to help you clean your car’s carburetor and so on. It’s easy to think of these activities as trivial compared to say, a university education.
