Description
Project management methodology is important to the success of a project. However, changes in technology and practitioner approach have led to a mix of methodologies known as hybrid. This research sought to identify the types of project management methodologies practitioners currently use and determine factors that impact how a project manager selects a methodology. A survey questionnaire was used to identify methodologies and types of project management tools, techniques, and processes used. Correlation and chi-square analysis analyzed if three specific factors (industry, project manager experience level, and technology project type) influenced the selection of a predictive, adaptive, or hybrid methodology. The results showed that industry and technology project type are factors in the methodology selection, but project manager years of experience were not. Overall, the analysis supported that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to methodology selection, but hybrid is emerging as the predominant approach.
