Procedure Models Project Management

What is meant by Procedure Models Project Management?

A project management procedure model, also referred to as a project management method or approach, is a framework or systematic method that structures the process of planning, implementing and controlling projects. Process models provide a guide for the successful implementation of projects and define how tasks can be organized, resources managed, and goals achieved. There are various process models in project management, and the choice of an appropriate model depends on the specific requirements of the project and the organizational culture.

Common process models

• Waterfall model: the waterfall model is a sequential approach in which each phase of the project is completed in turn. There are clear phases, such as requirements definition, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Changes during the project are difficult to implement.
• Agile Project Management: Agile approaches, such as Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming (XP), emphasize continuous adaptation to changing requirements and team collaboration. Agile teams work in short, iterative cycles to deliver results quickly and respond to feedback.
• Cascade model: the cascade model is similar to the waterfall model, but allows for flexibility. It emphasizes the sequence of phases, but allows for adjustments and changes at specific points in the process.
• Network planning technique: The network planning technique visualizes the logical and temporal sequence of subtasks in a project in a graphical representation. Due to the inclusion of numerous factors, the network plan is one of the most precise and thus most significant tools in the area of process organization and process management.
• Prince2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments): Prince2 is a structured method that focuses on the organization and control of projects. It establishes a clear project structure, roles and responsibilities.
• Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM): CCPM is a methodology that focuses on managing project resources and times to minimize bottlenecks and shorten project duration.
• Lean project management: Inspired by lean principles from manufacturing, this method focuses on waste efficiency and continuous improvement in project management.

The selection of the right process model depends on factors such as project size, complexity, budget, time frame, team composition and customer requirements. For example, an agile model such as Scrum is well suited for software development projects, while the waterfall model is often used in building and construction projects. It is important to carefully evaluate and select the most appropriate process model for your project. In practice, hybrid approaches are often used, combining elements of different process models to meet the requirements of a particular project.
