This toolkit is only a guide. It is intended to be flexible and scalable. Larger, high-risk projects may follow these guidelines more strictly while smaller, lower-risk projects may choose to apply the project management tools and templates in accordance with the unique needs of the project. The project approach taken should consider severable variables:
- Organizational culture. What are the organization's capabilities and capacity, and unique project management policies and standards?
- Project scale. Projects can range from small and simple involving a single business unit to large and complex with multiple large agency impacts.
- Implementation approach. A project may follow many planning and implementation methodologies, including waterfall, agile, hybrid or planning wave.
- Project type. There are many different project types including: software upgrade, enhancement, replacement or new implementation, technology infrastructure, telephony and communications, security, privacy and data protection, data management and analytics, web and online portals and facilities relocation.
