In my (20y+) experience, as soon as a methodology/process gets a name for itself, it has lost its original meaning and starts undermining the productivity. At that time all sorts of consultants crawl out of the woodwork and start converting companies to that process. Making good money of course. After that, following the process becomes more important than whatever the actual product is. Turning a large corporation into a new process takes years. Lots of documents created and new roles with funny names etc. And then someone invents a new cool process.... In my opinion, the basics is just to plan ahead only as far as realistic, communicate freely and directly in all levels including customer, document what makes sense, learn from mistakes and don't be afraid to throw away and redo things that don't work. Which, in my opinion, is pretty much the core of most of the processes anyway. But please don't start calling it with some name....

A process has no name.
