General Project Management Techniques<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): Breaking Your Project into Smaller Pieces for Clarity.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11637 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Work-Breakdown-Structure.png\" alt=\"Work Breakdown Structure\" width=\"828\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Work-Breakdown-Structure.png 828w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Work-Breakdown-Structure-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Work-Breakdown-Structure-768x412.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) breaks the entire project into smaller, manageable tasks. So, you start with the main goal and then break it down into sub-tasks. Next, you break those sub-tasks into even smaller pieces. This continues until you have a clear picture of all the work that needs to be done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WBS is great for complex projects where tasks can get overwhelming. It helps teams understand what&#8217;s needed, who&#8217;s responsible for each part, and how everything fits together. Plus, it&#8217;s useful when you want to track progress at a detailed level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drawbacks and limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While WBS is powerful, it can become overly detailed if not managed carefully. Breaking tasks down too much can lead to confusion or difficulties in tracking. Also, it might not cover all aspects of a project, especially things like communication or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/team-management\/\">team engagement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagine building a software application. Your WBS might include phases like planning, design, coding, testing, and deployment. Each of these phases would be broken down into specific tasks, such as creating user interface designs or writing code modules.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Critical Path Method (CPM): Finding the Quickest Path to Completion.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11638 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Critical-Path-Method.png\" alt=\"Critical Path Method\" width=\"828\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Critical-Path-Method.png 828w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Critical-Path-Method-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Critical-Path-Method-768x412.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Critical Path Method (CPM) starts by identifying all the tasks needed for the project. Next, it figures out the longest path of tasks that must be completed in order. This path, called the critical path, determines the project&#8217;s shortest possible duration. Tasks on the critical path are super important. Why? Because any delay in them delays the whole project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CPM is perfect for projects where timing is absolutely crucial. That\u2019s why it&#8217;s great for projects with many tasks and dependencies, as it helps you find the tasks that matter for staying on track.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drawbacks and limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, CPM might not be as flexible for projects where tasks can change frequently. Plus, it assumes that task durations are fixed, which might not always be the case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re building a new office space. CPM would lay out all the tasks, like designing, construction, and furnishing. It would then highlight the tasks that, if delayed, would push the project&#8217;s finish date. And if you need more help, check out this complete guide to learn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/critical-path-in-project-management\/\">how to use the CPM in project management<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT): Predicting Timelines with Smart Math.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11639 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Program-Evaluation-and-Review-Technique.png\" alt=\"Program Evaluation and Review Technique\" width=\"828\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Program-Evaluation-and-Review-Technique.png 828w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Program-Evaluation-and-Review-Technique-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Program-Evaluation-and-Review-Technique-768x419.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) helps you peer into multiple futures of your project. Here is how.<\/p>\n<p>First, it gathers the best-case, worst-case, and most likely estimates for task durations. After that, it combines these estimates to calculate an expected duration for each task. Only then does it offer you a range of potential project durations.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, PERT helps to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/uncertainty-in-project-management\/\">manage uncertainties<\/a> by showing a more complete picture of your project&#8217;s possible timelines. It also reveals the critical path, similar to CPM, pinpointing the most important tasks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PERT shines when uncertainty looms over your project. Whether you&#8217;re unsure about how long tasks will take, PERT&#8217;s method of considering multiple scenarios helps you plan for various possibilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drawbacks and limitations<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Still, when it comes to using PERT, there&#8217;s a catch. You&#8217;ll need to put in extra work to gather and analyze various estimates for each task. Plus, keep in mind that PERT doesn&#8217;t match every project seamlessly. It&#8217;s based on certain assumptions about how tasks&#8217; durations are distributed, and not all projects fit into that mold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As an illustration, consider launching a new product. PERT would examine the optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely durations for every task. This may include anything from prototyping and testing to marketing. With this insight, you would get several potential launch dates.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"b_pm_techniques_for_traditional_and_structured_projects\"><\/span>B. PM Techniques for Traditional and Structured Projects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>4. Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM): Focus on Finishing Strong by Managing Delays.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11640 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Critical-Chain-Project-Management-CCPM.png\" alt=\"Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM)\" width=\"828\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Critical-Chain-Project-Management-CCPM.png 828w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Critical-Chain-Project-Management-CCPM-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Critical-Chain-Project-Management-CCPM-768x353.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is all about using resources well and making the project move smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>First, it finds the most important tasks in a row, where if something gets slow, the whole project could take longer.<\/p>\n<p>Then, it uses a trick called &#8220;buffer management.&#8221; Instead of adding extra time to each task, CCPM saves extra time at the end of those important tasks. This makes tasks go faster. And if any hiccups happen and things get delayed, that saved extra time swoops in to save the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CCPM is excellent for projects with limited resources or complex <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/dependencies-in-project-management\/\">dependencies<\/a>. It&#8217;s particularly helpful when tasks run longer than estimated, helping to manage uncertainties and deliver projects faster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drawbacks and limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your working environment isn\u2019t familiar with the CCPM principles, you may find it difficult to implement this PM technique. What\u2019s more, the method&#8217;s success depends on accurate estimation of buffer time and effective management of task dependencies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagine a software development project. Instead of adding extra time to each step, CCPM would put extra time at the very end of the critical chain. This allows developers to focus on completing tasks without worrying about the added time. And they use buffers only if there are delays.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Projects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE2): Making Projects Work Smoothly with Clear Plans.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11641 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Projects-IN-Controlled-Environments.png\" alt=\"Projects IN Controlled Environments\" width=\"828\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Projects-IN-Controlled-Environments.png 828w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Projects-IN-Controlled-Environments-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Projects-IN-Controlled-Environments-768x463.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Projects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE2) is like your project&#8217;s master guidebook. It breaks down the project into manageable stages, each with clear objectives and plans. Next, it defines roles and responsibilities for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p>PRINCE2 wants us to keep checking on the project all the time. We do this by having regular meetings to make sure everything is going well. The way PRINCE2 does things helps make sure projects are clear, organized, and match the business goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PRINCE2 is best suited for projects that require a standardized approach. It&#8217;s particularly beneficial for larger projects with multiple teams or projects involving various stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drawbacks and limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike other techniques, the structured nature of PRINCE2 might not fit well with projects that require rapid adaptability. In other words, it might prove to be too inflexible for projects with evolving requirements. Or in industries that demand quick responses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say a tech company is creating a new app. Using PRINCE2, they start strong by defining goals and picking a leader. Then, they map out the plans, tackle tasks, and check progress. Teams fine-tune each app feature and pass the project stages confidently. If anything veers off, they can fix it swiftly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"c_project_management_techniques_for_agile_projects\"><\/span>C. Project Management Techniques for Agile Projects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>6. Extreme Programming (Extreme): Teamwork in Coding, with an Exciting Twist.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11642 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Extreme-Programming.png\" alt=\"Extreme Programming\" width=\"828\" height=\"942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Extreme-Programming.png 828w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Extreme-Programming-264x300.png 264w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Extreme-Programming-768x874.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think of Extreme Programming (XP) as a project&#8217;s hardcore workout routine. At the outset, it champions frequent small releases.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how it kicks off: the team lays out the plan for the next release, breaking it into tasks. Then, developers team up, going over the code together to amp up its quality. Automated testing is essential, guaranteeing changes don&#8217;t disrupt what&#8217;s already working.<\/p>\n<p>Continuous communication with customers is key, too, making sure everyone&#8217;s synced up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In essence, XP focuses on feedback, testing, and customer collaboration. This project management technique shines when the project involves complex technology or when requirements are likely to change. Thus, XP is an excellent PM technique for projects where adaptability and customer satisfaction are of primary importance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drawbacks and limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>XP might not be suitable for all teams. For example, you may find the need for continuous feedback and involvement from stakeholders too demanding. Besides, your project may involve pair programming, i.e. when two programmers work on a single workstation. So, you should make sure this fits your team\u2019s working culture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagine a software team building a new app using Extreme Programming (XP). They roll out small app updates every couple of weeks, ensuring quick user feedback and continuous improvement. In the meantime, they write user stories to capture features, run automated tests to catch bugs. Besides, developers often work in pairs, sharing knowledge and improving code quality. This approach helps create a top-notch app that evolves with user needs.<\/p>\n<h3>7. SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework): Synchronized Teamwork for Epic Results.<\/h3>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SAFe, which stands for the Scaled Agile Framework, is all about getting everyone on the same page. So, it gives a solid plan to make Agile practices work smoothly, even in big setups.<\/p>\n<p>Here are two of the important principles of SAFe: getting teams to work towards the same goal and making sure everyone talks to each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SAFe works great for big companies with lots of teams working together on big projects. It\u2019s helpful when companies want to make talking, working together, and getting things done easier between different parts of the company. In other words, SAFe usually works best for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/enterprise-project-management-methodology\/\">enterprise project management<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drawbacks and limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your organization is large, implementing SAFe may require organizational change. Besides, small teams might prefer to use other project management strategies and techniques.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Suppose we have a financial institution developing a new online banking system. SAFe would give a plan for getting all the teams on the same page. This involves teams who build it, the ones who make sure it&#8217;s safe, and the ones who check if it sticks to rules. They&#8217;d team up and release things at the same time to follow the rules and make customers happy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"d_performance_measurement_and_analysis_techniques\"><\/span>D. Performance Measurement and Analysis Techniques<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>8. Earned Value Management: Tracking Project Value and Costs Smartly.<\/h3>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, consider these statistics. <a href=\"https:\/\/project-management.com\/what-is-a-cost-overrun\/#:~:text=Moreover%2C%20a%20whopping%2055%25%20of,project%20success%20and%20longevity%20overall.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">55% of project managers<\/a> say that going over budget is a big reason projects fail. It&#8217;s one of the top things that can mess up a project&#8217;s success and how long it lasts.<\/p>\n<p>Here is when our next project management tactic is so helpful.<br \/>\nEarned Value Management (EVM) is like a financial advisor for your project. Costs and outcomes \u2013 these are the main focus of this project management technique.<\/p>\n<p>To start off, it keeps an eye on how your project is going. It looks at what you planned to do, what you actually did, and how much it costs. This way, you can figure out if your project is giving you what you wanted and if you&#8217;re sticking to your budget and schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EVM is most valuable for projects with well-defined tasks and budgets. It&#8217;s particularly effective for projects with a focus on cost control and resource optimization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drawbacks and limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, EVM can be complex to set up and might not be suitable for projects with rapidly changing scopes or those heavily driven by creative work. It&#8217;s also reliant on accurate task and cost estimations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re making a new product, like headphones. EVM would track how much you thought it&#8217;d cost to design and make them compared to the real costs. Thus, it helps you see if you&#8217;re spending too much or if you&#8217;re right on the money.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Cost-Benefit Analysis: Comparing Spending and Gains.<\/h3>\n<p><strong>How it works<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think of cost-benefit analysis as deciding if your project is worth it, like using a scale.<\/p>\n<p>First, you look at how much you&#8217;ll spend on workers and materials. Then, you figure out how good the project will be for you. So, will it make you more money or save costs? By comparing money in and money out, you decide if your project makes sense financially and if the good stuff is bigger than the costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cost-benefit analysis is essential for projects where financial considerations play a significant role. It&#8217;s particularly valuable for making informed decisions about whether to proceed with a project or to choose among different project options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drawbacks and limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cost-benefit analysis is one of the project management techniques that might not consider non-financial factors (that are important for making decisions).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a marketing campaign, you should check how much money you spend on ads, content creation, and getting the word out. Then, you look at potential benefits. For example, increased brand recognition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/types-of-lead-generation\/\">lead generation<\/a>, and sales. This helps you see if spending money is worth the outcomes you\u2019ll witness.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeffc;\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"lets_wrap_it_up\"><\/span>Let\u2019s Wrap It Up!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Project management techniques are your arsenal of tested weapons.
