Project management methodology has advanced considerably since the pioneering work on scheduling in the 1950s. Methodologies now include traditional, agile (or adaptive) and extreme. How does one decide which project management approach is most suitable? What factors need to be considered to make an informed decision? This interactive session will address these questions and will emphasize the importance of aligning the project type with the project management approach.
