This document discusses project management and methodology. It defines what a project and program are, and lists the key factors of project management like scope, schedule, budget, quality, risk management, and communication. It then discusses different project management methodologies like PMI, PRINCE2, Agile, and Scrum. It notes that methodology provides a set of proven methods but that being told which one to use is common for project managers. The document advocates keeping project management simple with a system to link assumptions, dependencies, risks, issues, defects, changes, actions, and tasks in a central dashboard to provide full knowledge and control over a project.
