I thoroughly enjoy seeing a project through from concept to reality. The odd thing is that I love the process as much as the product of the process. The process fascinates me.

Over the past few years of this sort of work in the web world, I’ve gone through a dozen different methodologies. I completely adopted some and some were just impetuses for my own system. Among the best was (and is) SCRUM.

SCRUM is a style of project management that was created for software development and focuses on planned, incremental, manageable version releases. (With the right person, this method can be adapted for many types of projects, not just software.)

I’ve adapted the traditional SCRUM methodology to fit my own personality and natural work flow, but retained its overarching principles; roles, meeting philosophy, and the priority of adaptation to variables. I’ve abandoned the terminology and specific meeting parameters, though.

I might go into my system in a little more detail in the future, but I just wanted to clue you in on the inspiration for my methods. Do you have a method of preference?
