# Project Management

Agile project management methodologies, including
[Kanban](wiki:Kanban_(development)),
[Scrum](wiki:Scrum_(software_development)), and
[SAFe](wiki:Scaled_Agile_Framework), facilitate the incremental
delivery of complex products or services with indeterminate (or
changing) requirements by shortening and interleaving enterprise
performance life cycle phases.

The Project Life Cycle

Cadenced agile ceremonies work like a reduction drive---represented
here using belts---with annual contract awards or strategic plans
propelling quarterly program increments (SAFe), semi-monthly sprints
(scrum), and daily tasks (kanban).  Agile projects end only when
product development and service operation cease.
