The reason that different companies use different project management techniques is due to many factors. The biggest factors are project complexity and project size. The reasons are that more complex projects may need different project management techniques compared to less complex ones. This is probably due to the project having multiple simultaneous parts being worked on requiring and the capabilities of a larger company to work on bigger projects.

Your choice of methodology defines how you work and communicate. What methodology you choose will depend on your team, project-type, and project-scope. Every project is unique. Some projects are relatively straightforward and predictable. Others are highly complex and risky. Each requires a different approach when it comes to how the project should be managed. Applying the same amount of project management rigor to every project is wasteful. Despite this, many organizations and project managers apply project management dogma without deviation instead of tailoring their efforts appropriately.

Size designations put projects in perspective -used to determine the extent and degree to which structured management methodologies must be applied for any given project. Project management practices are meant to ensure that projects can be completed in a structured fashion - on time, on budget and producing expected results. As such, project size variations must be considered as management practices are developed and applied. Project managers may have some technical know-how but also have the important task of taking high-level corporate visions and delivering tangible results on time and within budget.

Developing a project's approach recognizes that all projects are not the same—requirements will likely change, schedules are compressed and often come with imposed deadlines, budgets are limited, and stakeholders will have varying degrees of involvement.

If the project manager is knowledgeable in one particular project management methodology, it is difficult to step back and consider an entirely different approach. Project managers often attempt to force a project to fit a given methodology because that is what they are most familiar with. Project managers need to expand their thinking to embrace different forms of project management. The project manager along with the project management team should tailor the project management approach to fit the business environment, the risks, and the complexity of the project.

First of all, we should consider that every project and its team is unique, for example, some projects can be very straightforward while some other projects can be complicated and risky so we will two different types of managing and teams. Secondly, we may have a small company or big company and as we know different sized companies may have different type of projects with different level of risks so they cannot manage in the same way, for example, big companies have better software, more money, more employee but usually the demand to finish the project earlier and more accurate that the smaller size company with limited facilities.

Project managers along with their project teams must identify among the numerous project management processes and practices those that are most appropriate for each project. Each project management process should be carefully considered to determine if it is applicable to the project. Today, a project's approach should be developed to reflect the uncertainty that many projects face. Developing a project's approach recognizes that all projects are not the same requirements will likely change, schedules are compressed and often come with imposed deadlines, budgets are limited, and stakeholders will have varying degrees of involvement.

the Size shapes how the company works. Having smaller size company means few people in each department which leads how to work with projects and what type of organization (functional, project based, and matrix) they are working with.

In project " size " is an all encompassing designation, used to quantify the overall "extent" of the project effort, usually accounting for duration, cost, complexity, staffing requirements and related parameters. This allows projects to be characterizes in comparative terms ( small, medium, or large) . Many factors go into project sizing, including estimated duration, resource requirements, budget, risk, visibility and related matters. Sizing frameworks should be established to define each sizing factor according to each project size.

Project management techniques are different based on the size of the company. When the company is small, all work in the same department or functional areas. The team members report to the same manage. The scope statement and requirements are not complicated. The project manager break down the project scope into the assignments for the team members. Weekly reports from the team members lets the project manager to spot any problems early which can be fixed. In large companies the project manager goes through extensive scope and requirement process. Cost benefit analysis and feasibility studies is done.

The thing with project management techniques is that they MUST differ from not only company to company, but also project to project. Depending on the size, culture, and type of company, most places usually have a baseline of rules and regulations they follow in terms of their management style. However, depending on what the project is, things can be added and taken away within the same company. However, things will always be different from one company to the other because they handle different products, consumers, and employees -- each management plan must be different to fit.

Project management techniques differ from company to company because it is due to availability of resources and past experiences. Larger companies will more resources to work with, and I’m sure they have gone through many projects and have learned from them all and have optimized their techniques fully. Smaller companies need to pick and choose what projects they pursue and might have as much money and resources to play with. A project failing could be a disaster for them, with closing down being a end result. So they don’t have the same level of experience as larger companies do, and aren’t able to take on as many risks as larger companies can and learn from them.
