Monsoon Consulting has a defined project management methodology based on simple principles:

Work on accomplishing a client's business goal, not creating a piece of
software

• Always keep stakeholders and their goals in sight
• Think pro-actively

Scope management

• Work together with the client to prioritise tasks
• Propose options whenever possible

Client-controlled fast time to market

• Extensive use of prototypes and "proof-of-concept"
• "Feedback is always welcome"

Risk management - information is key

• Communication should be precise and the information channels open
• Thorough information exchange
• Check your vision with that of other contributors to the project
