3. Methodology Chapter 3.1 Introduction to Methodology The purpose of this chapter is to describe the research methodology used in completing this dissertation. This chapter starts out by describing the initial research and literature review that was performed and then further describe with relevant research methodology. A research method is being selected and explained. A sample of questionnaire and interview questions can be obtained in Appendix. 3.2 Prestudy and Approach ( Literature Review )
Waterfall Vs Agile Methodologies Choosing a right methodology for the project management enables the organization to tackle the projects comprehensively, systematically, and an approach to assess the risks and difficulties that large projects encompass. It also offers benefits at the strategic, tactical and operational levels to an organization. The two basic, most popular methodologies are: Waterfall Model (which is also known as Traditional Model) and Agile Model. Both of these models are being
Project management is a tool that the organization can use to eliminate waste, increase capacity, or increase positioning in the market place. The concept of project management is broad with methodology dating back across the decades. Project management itself is not new; however, methodologies associated with project management have continued to develop and change over time. Specifically, during the last two decades, the Agile methodology was introduced to project management. In recent years, merging
Different methodologies are used nowadays by a project manager to achieve their project goals. Although all the methodologies have common process for management but their execution differs. In this paper my intention is to discuss the most commonly used project management method called Agile. This methodology is commonly used in software projects because of its iterative development way and its flexibility for a requirement changing environment like in the case of a software project where the requirement
Introduction Introductory Overview Project management is a critical process in organization, as it entails planning and implementing projects in line with the available time, human resource and financial resources. Successful project management is based on the available systems available. The automation of the project management has become the norm, whereby project managers use tailored software and applications to design, plan and implement projects, along with appropriate control and regulation

The effectiveness of the project depends upon the methodology that was chosen for its development. Agile methodology is an emerging approach for software development while waterfall methodology is the traditional one. This paper presents the detailed and comparative study of agile and waterfall methodologies for project development. Both these methodologies have their applications in certain project development environments. The paper highlights basic principles, project development process, and
Agile methodology Agile methodology is an approach to project management and agile software methodology is not a one methodology but a set of methodologies which share common characteristics to achieve business goals. Before 1950’s project management have taken place in an informal way for many eras and after an ameliorating of formal project management methodologies began to be defined and swiftly spared through the industry rather than traditional methodologies. The traditional approach of project
experienced the Year 2000 project (Yaraghi, 2016, para. 3). Combine all the problems with projects and the government 's dependency on contractors who may or may not have ever undertaken a government project before and certainly not at the scale level of some of the projects (Gallagher 2013, para. 5). With public-sector transparency, large-scale government projects are under the microscope and often, information technology is the biggest reason for the failure of projects (Kost & Howard 2014, p. 1)
are not useful for most of the current project requirement. Nowadays project requirements depend on many other unstable concepts, which make the project less predictable. Because of these entire unpredictable project, agile becomes the first choice of most of the clients. The agile software development methods are more adaptive approach, while conventional/traditional software development methods are predictive approach. In traditional method all the project development plan is created before starting
