1. WATERFALL
Waterfall is derived from the more traditional project
management, top-down approach. Project managers strive to
eliminate risk and uncertainty by defining the project scope,
budgets, and schedule upfront, along with project action steps.
Waterfall project management utilizes tools such as Gantt
Charts to make the projects visible.
Typically applications that are self-
installed. These applications have
no customer support from provider,
infrequent/no upgrades or updates
and limited functionality.
Typically applications that are great
for the non-project manager who
needs to keep track of multiple
projects, team goals and timelines.
Typically applications geared to the
professional project manager that
support more complex project
management, complex business
rules, such as cascading timeline
dependencies and complex multi-
level costings.
Project Management is a Key Issue For Today’s Growing Business.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT STYLE

Agile has two basic methods – scrum and kanban. In agile
project management, work is per formed in stages. Each
project is worked on by 5-20 people, on up to three teams.

require additional project management.
