Overview of other approaches of project management
The field of project management is an evolving field, and therefore, it has approaches proposed every now and then. There are several approaches to project management that are in action since the evolution of industrialization in the European markets, major approaches are discussed as under;
The traditional approach: it has five major steps in completion of a project, they are, initiation, planning and design, execution and construction, monitoring and control system, completion.
PRINCE2: it pertains to the completion and delivery of the project in particular requirements.
Critical chain project management: the approach pertains to the designing and execution of a project process or chain through inherent risks in the project could be handled.
Event chain: it is based upon the uncertainty modeling and project scheduling; it breaks the project into several events, and therefore, proposes a process that addresses each event individually.
Process based management: the approach corresponds to the utilization of software that tends to align a better process for the management of the project.
Agile project management: it is the approach that pertains to the interaction of human skills and their collaboration with the process management tools to enhance the probability of success of the project
Lean management: one of the most advanced approaches induced for project management, the approach pertains to value delivery along with the reduction of waste and time
Extreme project management: It combines one or two approaches together to handle a large scale projects (Melton, 2008, pp. 63-114).
