Option #1: Developing a Project Management Methodology—Memo
Based on your review and analysis of the “Creating A Methodology” case study (Kerzner, 2022, p.
102), prepare a memo to address the following key elements:
Read Section 2.3.5 Life Cycle and Phase Definitions of A Guide to the Project Management Body
of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) – Seventh Edition, assess the main consideration in phase
definition of projects, and then characterize the project life cycle phases noted in the case study.
Clearly and concisely define the construct of an enterprise project management methodology
(EPM). Appraise the elements included in the case study’s EPM.
Clearly and concisely define the construct of a project management office (PMO). Critique the case
study’s PMO structure in context of implementing the proposed EPM.
Identify specific aspects of a project management methodology that are distinctly unique to global
organizations.
Summarize how a project management system (PMS) can be used to support the case study’s
EPM.
In your memo, be sure to properly organize your writing and include the following:
Cover page
Introduction
Body of your work in response to the assignment’s key elements, with headings and subheadings
Conclusion
List of references

Support your assignment with a minimum of three peer-reviewed or professionally published
sources. The CSU Global library is a good place to locate these sources, and the Project
Management Resources Guide is a great place to start. The CSU Global Library and Writing
Center links can be found in the course navigation panel. The written section should follow the CSU
Global Writing Center. Submit your memo by the posted due date and review the rubric for specific
grading criteria.
