Introduction

In this blog I aim to talk about the Project Management Methodologies, Project Management Tools, Project Management Software and Project Life Cycles. Before I start I wish to describe what Project, Project Management and Methodology are, by doing this I can have a better understanding of what they are and also show that I have understood what I am talking about. A project is basically a set of procedures that can be undertaken by an individual or a group, it is normally temporary process that is unique or new. There are many real life examples of projects been put into practice for instance Wembley Stadium, the Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford, the Freedom Tower in New York etc. From gathering what Project means, Project Management mean how the project that is being conducted and handled by the people working on the project. Methodology is the method that can be used to get things done by following its list of principles which can consist of listed tasks, techniques in chronological order. In other words its like guidelines pointing you in the correct directions or reference point that allows for projects to be successful. There are many real examples of methodology that exist, these can consist of the PRINCE2 methodology an etc.
