For this assignment, summarize each of the methodologies and standards and then compare and contrast all of these methodologies and standards through an analysis of the following questions:
What are some of the common tools or techniques for each methodology?
What types of industries would be a good fit for each of these methodologies?
Based on these methodologies, which do you think is the easiest to pair with project management or total quality management programs within an organization for continuous improvement?
