Project management methodologies


Problem:

Projects comprise a range of complex activities that must be completed in a sequence. It is useful to be able to make a distinction between terms such as project and program. According to the Guide to the PMBOK (2008), "A program is defined as a group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually" (p. 9). A program management office must be established to either provide management support to large projects or to manage continuous changes to a particular program's set of projects.

According to the Wysocki text, all valid project management methodologies must be able to answer the following six basic questions: What business situation is being addressed? What do you need to do? What will you do? How will you do it? How will you know you did it? How well did you do?

Evaluate the five Process Groups defined in the PMBOK. Explain how each of the Process Groups answers one or more of the six questions. Based on your evaluation, do you believe that the PMBOK approach is a valid project management methodology? Why?

please cite your sources and in-text citation would be very helpful.
