Methodology vs. Framework
• Methodology is the “what you do”
• Framework is the “how you do it.”
• PMBOK is a framework– PMBOK 5th Edition, Page 2, Section 1.1
“This standard is a guide rather than a specific methodology. One can use different methodologies and tools (e.g. ….PRINCE2) to implement the project management framework.”
WHAT METHODOLOGY ARE YOU USING?
WHY IS A METHODOLOGY IMPORTANT?
