Project management: the four typologies

Developing products with project management methodologies today is really a challenge, because you need to have an approach that allows you to adapt to the changes that occur during the development itself. Planning must therefore be adaptive.

In this chapter, 4 project management modes – Waterfall, Lean, Project Management 2.0 and Agile – are analyzed, evaluating their suitability to enable adaptive planning.

Framework Scrum

Within the agile approach, the Scrum framework (with introduced roles and events) and User Story Mapping (for managing to-do’s or Backlog) are major players. Of the lean approaches are the Kanban Boards with Kanban tags. Agility-based “elastic” approach integrating elements of Waterfall and Lean is the solution proposed by Eng. Claudio Saurin for physical product development.
