Software development methodology and project management are waste of money (2/2)

Having said in the previous post that methodology is a waste of effort and money....because building software means capitalizing business knowledge... i would like to contradict my own text by adding that project methodology is about capitalizing project management experience, and therefore should reflect the knowledge of the organization regarding the way projects take place, and how to make projects successfull.

So, the subject is knowledge again.... and just like when the organization wants to learn about past projects (a process generally called project post-mortem), it is particularly usefull not to write but to read and learn (as opposed to what happens most of the time, which is precisely to write methodology and post-mortems and not to learn from them)!

Project methodology is about accumulating knowledge.
