Project Methodologies
Project Planning
Author: Debashis Paul
PMM comprise of below approaches to manage events
occurring in SDLC of a project framework :
Defining set of steps i.e. processes
Prepare guidelines & standard methods
Define Activities , tasks , techniques, tools , roles and
responsibilities , milestone
Create principles
Procedure to control risks and changes
Project Management Methodology
It differs from project to project but the backbone is similar having
below set of common activities:
Project Scheduling, Cost & Resource Planning
Risk Management Planning
Quality Assurance
Communication Planning
Estimate and plan Project Effort
Project Tracking and Control
High utilization of Technical resources
Effective management of phases
Define actions with needs

A process entails the identification of proper needs and structure for organizing
and managing the project with below key steps:
Determine how to plan
Develop the scoping statement
Select the planning team
Establish Requirements
Identify the deliverables and create work breakdown structures
Define tasks
Estimate time and cost for activities
Build Schedules and budget
Assess risks
Set quality standards
Gain formal approval for kickoff
Identify roles and responsibilities
