What People Think

First, clarify the context: what deliverables does your team need to produce, what regulations or strategic priorities apply, and where are the greatest risks? Without this, the methodology becomes just a template.

We recommend combining the official syllabus with internal lessons learned. Short retrospectives after each wave of change significantly increase the chance that new habits will stick.

  1. PRINCE2 allegedly forbids agility.

  2. Scrum alone is supposedly sufficient for entire enterprise programs.

  3. One methodology is enough regardless of context.

What real-world data says

Below we outline three specific steps you can implement even without a large budget.

  • Combining frameworks is standard in finance.

  • Roles and mandates must be clearer than just participating in stand-ups.

  • Governance scales with risk and impact.

Methodology is a tool, not a faith.

Do not forget to involve HR and security roles early – the sooner they are at the table, the less rework at the end of the project or audit.
