The methodology of a project is a systematic and methodical process that facilitates the planning, execution and control of a project to achieve the objectives successfully; however, there are many examples of project methodology, the application of which varies according to the requirements of each specific project.
The methodology of a project is a fundamental basis to guarantee the efficiency and effectiveness of a project and to achieve its success, within these methodologies different types can be found, whose application depends on the characteristics, objectives and needs of the specific project layer.

There are many examples of project methodologysuch as the waterfall method, the agile methodology, the critical path methodology, etc.; Although these methodologies have similarities, they also have their differences that make them suit different levels of difficulty, from simple projects to long projects and complexes.
Therefore, in this post we present you 2 examples of project methodology.

2 Examples of project methodology
There are many examples of these methodologies, whose method of application depends on the characteristics and needs of the project itself, which make some methods more suitable than others to achieve the desired results.
On this occasion we present two examples of project methodology.

1. Example of a project methodology using the waterfall method
Let us remember that the methodology waterfall method is a sequential and linear approach for project management that focuses on comprehensive planning and execution of activities in an orderly and predetermined sequence.
In this case, we will explain in a practical and simple way how the waterfall methodology could be applied in a software development project:

Stages or phases of the project for software development:
Requirements analysis: In this phase, an exhaustive compilation of the software requirements is carried out, through interviews with end users or customers and review of documents with Specifications.

From there, the functional and non-functional requirements of the software that must be followed to achieve the desired results are identified in detail.
Design: In this phase, detailed software designs are created, based on the requirements specified in the previous phase, software designers use modeling tools to create the flowcharts, data structures, user interfaces, and overall architecture of that software.
Implementation: In this stage, the system designers create the software code, using the designs created in the previous phase, and a team of Development is responsible for developing the specific modules of the software and testing each module individually before integrating it with the rest of the software. system.
Evidence: This is a very important stage, as extensive testing must be done on the software to ensure that it meets the requirements specified in the requirements analysis phase and detect possible failures.
To do this, the team of professional developers applies various testing techniques, such as testing unit tests, integration tests and acceptance tests, among others, to verify its correctness. functioning.
Implementation and maintenance: In this stage the software is implemented and the necessary activities are carried out so that the end users or clients can use the software effectively. In addition, support and maintenance is provided to ensure that the software continues to function properly and meets user requirements.
2. Example of a project methodology using the agile Scrum methodology
a practical example of the use of agile Scrum methodology it could be for the development of a website for a company.
In this case, the Scrum team would be composed of a Scrum Master, a Product Owner and various developers working interactively with the client for the development of the website; that is, they work collaboratively to achieve the company's objectives and be able to deliver the website in a very short time.
The following example is a simple example of how Scrum could be used to develop this website:
Sprint Planning: First, the Scrum Team must meet to plan the Sprint, which are the stages of execution of the project.
In this case, a period of two weeks is established for the development of the project, the objectives are discussed and defined. of the Sprint and the tasks that must be completed by the members of the scrum team, as well as the times for complete them.
Daily Scrum: In this phase or sprints, the team should hold daily meetings of about 15 minutes to briefly update the progress, identify issues and make sure everyone is aligned on your schedule of activities, and identify what needs to be be modified.
Sprint Review: At the end of the Sprint, the team must meet and present the result of the work to the Product Owner and the client; Customer opinions and recommendations are essential to achieve a feedback process and improve productivity.
SprintRetrospective: At this stage, the team reflects on the Sprint, identifying what went well, what were the main difficulties that arose, and what could be improved for the next project.
This stage basically helps the Scrum Team to create a retrospective on the next project to make significant improvements.
Conclusion:
As can be seen in both examples, each project is developed in stages. With the waterfall method, the process is a little more complex and previously very well planned. in consecutive stages, which allows details to be perfected in each of the stages before starting a new one, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the results.
On the other hand, with the agile Scrum methodology, the project stages are executed collaboratively among all team members, with the integration of the client, and although the process and activities are planned, these are susceptible to modification as the project develops, being this versatile method to adjust to the possible changes.
