Classic Waterfall; Tiered Development; Web-based Applications; RAD Life Cycles; Object-Oriented Development; Model-Driven Development. Or maybe you’ve been Extremely Scrummed. All these cryptic, acronymned, abbreviated technologies impact the way you manage a project. And judging from the press, we aren't doing a very good job of it!

This module compares and contrasts traditional project management approaches and the new strategies needed to effectively manage today's project. At the same time, it clearly points out that if you have not mastered basic project management skills, you should do so before you run into these methods.
