This document describes the Programming Methodology Framework also known under the PMF methodology. The methodology is based on the manifesto written by Zed A. Shaw [PROGRAMMING-MF-MANIFESTO] which describes a natural approach to software engineering especially on the strong focus towards the act of programming. The PM methodology uses a soft naming to allow a non-partisan reference into official engineering or project documents to describe one of the most used software engineering methodology.

In 2011, Zed A. Shaw published a blog post which describes:
I think I'm going to create the ultimate software development methodology. It'll be revolutionary compared to others because it will focus on the one thing that gets software done. Its entire focus will be this one, glorious, completely useful activity for writing software. It's name even embodies the perfection of this programming methodology.
The programming methodology was published as a manifesto later [PROGRAMMING-MF-MANIFESTO]. The manifesto clearly describes the focus on programming to avoid the surrounding management overhead and pivot towards the delivery of the software. The [THE-TAO-OF-PROGRAMMING] describes similar methodologies which strongly focus on coding, scripting and programming.

A simple management process is required in addition to the PMF methodology. The management process is complementary to the PMF metholody and not interfering with the programming aspect. The management process is there to support the PMF methodology.
+A simple management process is a required of the PMF methodology. The management process is meant to be complementary instead of interfering with the programming aspect and solely serves to support the PMF methodology.
