Project management in tweets ...

All business activities are in transition from innovation (rare and poorly understood) to commodity-like (common and well defined).

The characteristics of an activity vary during its lifecycle. An innovation is dynamic & requires deviation whilst a commodity does not.

How to manage an activity varies with the stage of its lifecycle. Which is why no single project methodology is suitable everywhere.

Successful project management is knowing when to use static (six sigma, prince 2) and when to use dynamic methodologies (XP, Scrum).
