Overview: Strong leadership is striking a balance between people dependency and process dependency with regard to the methodology. Too much methodology can contribute to project failure. We must have a balance. Project management is simply Structured, Organized, Common Sense. If uncertainty is high and the requirements are fluid, it is common sense to use an iterative method. If the deliverable is critical and it's execution and use involves life and death you may want a strict development methodology. There are always trade offs and there is no free lunch.
