Slide 6: What is Project Management ?Methodology
A Methodology tells you what you have to do, to manage your projects from start to finish. It describes every step in the project life cycle in depth, so you know exactly which tasks to complete, when and how. Whether you're an expert or a novice, it helps you complete tasks faster than before. A Methodology is a body of practices, procedures, methods and phases used by those who work in a discipline. A methodology for a project is about managing the project activities.

Slide 7: ?Why do you need one
As a Project Manager, you need a Project Management Methodology to steer your projects in the right direction and keep them on track. You also need it to help you manage your projects in a structured, repeatable fashion. That way, you can apply the same approach to every project you undertake. It provides high-level PM framework.

Based on PMBOK
“The PMBOK® Guide is not a methodology, a how-to or
a specific set of procedures.” It provides a basic foundation of the knowledge areas required for a project manager to be successful, but is not a methodology that you can utilize to manage a project directly.

Initiation Process
What is it and why are we doing it? What will the project create/implement? How will the success of the project be measured?
Keep in mind that the measure of success here is not how many people use Illinois in a Box, but rather does the project meet the objectives and did it come in on time and on budget.
What are the risks and issues?
