Handbook
PM approach guides (blueprint)
Purpose: Deeper, product-agnostic guides for project management approaches than the short summaries in Project management (PM). Each file explains the approach on its own terms, links to authoritative external material…
Audience: Teams adopting Project management (PM); project-specific overrides stay in project-level planning docs.
| Guide | Topics |
|---|---|
| PMI / PMBOK | Standards-based PM body of knowledge; 12 principles, 8 performance domains (7th ed); predictive, Agile, and hybrid tailoring; mapping to PM.md process groups and SDLC/PDLC. |
| PRINCE2 | Process-based controlled-environment PM; 7 principles, 7 themes, 7 processes; management by exception; PRINCE2 Agile integration; mapping to PM.md and SDLC/PDLC. |
| Six Sigma / Lean Six Sigma | Data-driven quality and process improvement; DMAIC and DMADV cycles; belt system; statistical tools; positioning as a PM-adjacent discipline; mapping to SDLC and PDLC. |
External references: PM approaches — reference links — curated URLs with executive summaries.
Bridge to SDLC and PDLC: PM ↔ SDLC ↔ PDLC bridge — how these approaches relate to delivery methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, XP, phased) in Methodology guides (blueprint) and product approaches (Dual-Track, Stage-Gate, Lean Startup) in PDLC approach guides (blueprint).
