This document discusses methodologies and why they are important for organizations. It notes that while each company, initiative, and project is different, methodologies allow processes to be standardized and replicated. They also enable communication about processes and thoughtful changes. The document advises to always be collecting information, make lists of how and why things are done, and bring that information together to begin creating a methodology. However, it cautions that methodologies are guides, not maps, and are never finished as they should incorporate ongoing feedback for continuous improvement.
