According to <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/dictionary\/english\/march\">the Cambridge Dictionary<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As a <strong>verb<\/strong>, it means to walk quickly and with determination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a <strong>noun<\/strong>, it signifies steady and inevitable progress, like the &#8220;march of history.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, March was also the first month of the year in the early Roman calendar*. It marked the start of spring with the vernal equinox\u2014a time of renewal and new beginnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these ideas resonate with us, but none of them explain why we chose to be <a href=\"https:\/\/march.hu\/en\/about-us\/\">MARCH, the <strong>Methodology Architects<\/strong><\/a> (get it? <strong>M<\/strong>ethodology<strong> ARCH<\/strong>itects!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-real-story-behind-march\"><strong>The real story behind MARCH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our journey started from early work experiences, observing that success hinges on understanding how to approach a problem, process, or quality system. Companies thrive when they use the right structures, tools, and methodologies that align with their needs and development stage. Choosing the wrong approach? It\u2019s a recipe for wasted time and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not about arguing over which framework\u2014Lean, Agile, UX\/CX, or customer centricity\u2014is superior. An effective practitioner is methodologically independent, striving to choose what fits the context. They recognize their limitations, involve others when necessary, and focus on delivering results. This isn\u2019t about being \u201cAgile\u201d or \u201cLean.\u201d It\u2019s about applying the right methodology at the right time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was no suitable term to describe this concept, which is why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/roland-szmola-3227392\/\">Roland<\/a> and his team introduced the title <strong>Methodology Architect<\/strong> in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-methodology-architect\"><strong>What is a Methodology Architect?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Methodology Architect is a skilled professional who selects the most applicable methodology for a given situation and organizes it into a cohesive process. They might start by exploring a product with Lean or UX tools, experiment with service design techniques, transition to portfolio methodologies, and ultimately choose the most suitable delivery approach\u2014whether iterative waterfall or Agile or whatever. This systematic and adaptive mindset is a valuable asset for any entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-core-values-of-a-methodology-architect\"><strong>Core values of a Methodology Architect:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use common sense<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t adopt a method just because it\u2019s trendy or labeled as innovative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be methodologically independent<\/strong> \u2013 Choose the tools and frameworks that best suit the challenge and current state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep learning<\/strong> \u2013 The more methodologies you master, the wiser your choices and the greater your impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that\u2019s the story behind our name.
