This document outlines 9 lessons learned about introducing project management methodologies to new environments. The key lessons are: (1) start-ups need dynamism while companies need organization, (2) there is no single solution and methodologies must be tailored, (3) people must understand the benefits to engage with changes. Introducing structures can help departments thrive but others may struggle. Changes come with costs like reduced performance temporarily. Planning is important but plans may not survive implementation so reacting is also key.
