We have extensive experience in Project Management
applying many methodologies and project management tools.
We have found most of these methodologies to be advantageous
for the most part and to a significant degree.
Yet, we have on occasion found the same methodology
applied to two similar projects to have very different
outcomes! Even more perplexing are the projects that
we have rescued from certain failure without changing
the methodology, tools or project team for that matter!
True to our philosophy, we have found that successful
project management does not lie in the knowledge or
even experience of project management methodologies
alone. It is deeply rooted in the ability to lead people
and manage the changes that are inherently part of the
Software Development Life Cycle.
