Abstract
Project management has become an indispensable tool in project development, not only applied in software projects, but in many other business areas. Therefore, there is a huge investment in training of managers, giving them the knowledge to achieve their tasks successfully. The main goal is to decide which methodology we must apply to a project. In this paper we will discuss a set of principles that will support a choice from two main methodologies to use in different context projects.
So in this paper, it is intended to introduce concepts, looking for the environment and highlighting its value in the project management, directed to software development projects, where increasingly there is a need to apply management knowledge. Will be presented a case study that illustrates the concepts presented and the easiness to implement a methodology for project management, supporting the entire process.
