540-51 : Assign 12

Select a Project Management Lifecycle Methodology (PMLC)

Depending on their governing characteristics, differing projects require differing fundamental approaches during planning and execution. For this assignment you are to determine which PMLC Methodology best suits your project. Using the course materials from this unit as your guide, including the PMLC Summary document, determine which Project Management Lifecycle Methodology should be used for your project, and why.

Note: You may select the Traditional Project Management Methodology if you feel that it is the best choice for your project; however, regardless of which PMLC you choose you must provide justification for your approach and identify challenges that it may face.

Prepare a one- to two-page document explaining which PMLC Methodology, you believe, best suits your project including a justification for your selection. Also include any challenges that you would face if you moved forward with the selected methodology.
