    Project Management Methodologies;

    PRINCE2 Vs SSADM

    PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments)

    The PRINCE2 framework says that a project should have:
    • An organised and controlled start, i.e. organise and plan before leaping in.
    • An organised and controlled middle, i.e. keeping projects organised and controlled.
    • An organised and controlled end, i.e. when you've got what you want and the project has finished, tidy up the loose ends.
    To describe what a project should do and when, PRINCE2 has a series of processes. These cover all the activities needed on a project, from starting up to closing down.


    SSADM (Structured Systems Analysis & Design Method)

    SSADM uses a combination of text and diagrams throughout the whole life cycle of a system design, from the initial design idea to the actual physical design of the application.

    What are the key features of the above methodology?

    CMMI Project Management Method

    CMMI stands for Capability Maturity Model Integration. It is an approach that helps organizations improve their processes. It is a process level improvement training and appraisal program.

    PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge)

    Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) is a collection of processes and knowledge areas accepted as best practice for the project management profession.

    The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) is a document published by the Project Management Institute of the USA. It provides a basic reference for anyone interested in the profession of Project Management.
