We all wish for a toolbox that helps us manage our projects more successfully. That’s why the authors Christian Botta and Bernhard Schloß analyzed their own training sessions and developed a system of 132 project management methods. The visual overview is reminiscent of the periodic table in chemistry and is designed to provide orientation in the jungle of methods.

Each individual method, tool, and framework is described and evaluated according to the criteria of effort, difficulty, and effectiveness. In addition, there are tips and tricks for optimal use, as well as references to related methods.

With this system of methods for projects, you will find exactly the right tool for your project!
