AB  - Combining the interplay between project’s type and Project Management, the present paper aims to answer the following question: should the organization be changed to adapt itself to the project or on the other hand should the project adapt itself to the organization? Through an empirical case-study examination complemented by literature review, this paper outlines the importance of a proper and appropriate tailoring to foster an effective balance between administrative effort and project effort in the organization in order to achieve the most suitable organizational fit and avoid methodological myopia.

Based on but not limited to the diamond approach defined by Shenhar and Dvir, this paper also proposes a simple approach to tailor the Project Management methodology to business projects based on their specific needs, environment and context and is intended to provide real examples to help project managers deal with this matter.
