Agile Perspective Process

At the beginning, my writing was pretty poor, I only can speak that time and I have never had good grades on writing. Integrated Project has helped me a lot to improve my writing in variety ways. For example, every class I write at least one paragraph “what have I learned today in this class”. Every day notes are becoming more and now it is more easily to write big assignment or essay. Second, this class helped me to analyze and translate information more clearly and fast. Thirdly I have learned what is “brainstorm”, and now I’m making ideas more fast than when I just came to the GIST collage. Furthermore, I started to put my sentences more carefully, because in the past my readers started to getting confuse with my assignment or essay. The

Continuous improvement is at the heart of my practice as an OD professional. I developed the capacity of the training team by coordinating the certification of Cherish Bell in SLII, Eddie Lopez in Leading Across Generations, and coached Training Leaders in how to build relationships and execute their day-to-day tasks at the site level and the identification and elimination of training gaps. I have engaged Alchemy to initiate the improvement of the data structure and reporting capability of the Alchemy SISTEM, guided the implementation of Alchemy Coach to eliminate paper based documentation for hand-on instruction associated with AWP, and improved the process for developing training calendars for MU participants and charts used for succession

Agile Project management is one of the industries dominating methodology for project management in IT. It is an incremental and iterative way to manage the build and design activities for constructing an IT product, services, and project development in manner which is highly interactive and flexible. In this methodology, scope is defined in granularity that is appropriate with time horizon and checked with the agreement on each feature with the customer. In this methodology work steps are divided with feature breakdown structures. In order to track the progress of the project progress charts are used instead of Gantt charts. Cross-functional and test-driven development teams starts working from the very beginning of the project to provide

If it takes time to ramp up the current Scrum team, DOL should continue with the current methodology (until the DOL and Impact work is completed)

They explained that Agile is a project management approach used to respond to unpredictable circumstances in a really efficient way. They talked about their Scrum meetings where they plan out their sprints and assign user stories which the developers work on. They also talked about daily standups in which everyone talks about what they worked on the previous day and what they are planning to work on that day. They explained how Sprints are just small cycles of 2-3 weeks which allow developers to work on incremental updates. These updates are really beneficial as if something breaks then it’s really easy to fix them as they are not as

The book is entitled “Scrum The Art of Doing Twice The Work in Half the Time.” The authors talk about the typical format for business being a waterfall method. A department for each stage of production. For example, a department that finds projects, a department that decides what the specs/goals should be, a department determines how long that may take, a department to create the project, a department to test, a department to sell. The authors argue is that this is incredibly ineffective. Rather than having departments they suggest having teams with all the skills combined. A team that consists of one person from each department, i.e. a group that works cohesively. By doing so, they speculate that you can eliminate communication issues, time delays, and confusion produced from a waterfall method.

PRINCE2® (Projects in Controlled Environments), is a widely used project management methodology that navigates you through all the essentials for running a successful project. It provides project managers with a practical roadmap from conception to close.

The development process I chose was SDLC, when I should have chosen Scrum. SDLC develops information systems and applications where Scrum develops business process, information systems, and applications.

Use the agile readiness assessment tool to determine the current maturity of individual business units for agile processes concerning BI initiatives

Project Management Office (PMO) and Agile method are highly reputable terms in many organizations, especially in their IT projects. The PMO is a group of people or committee within an organization that is responsible to define and maintain standards and practices for traditional project management. The ultimate objective for the PMO is to gain the benefits that are derived from applying Project Management (PM) methods, practices and policies. Thus, the PMO over time will become the origin for documentation, guidance and metrics regarding to any practices that are involved in managing projects within the organization, as well as it will be the communication channel that

In 2001 a group of thought leaders recognized the need for common set of values and principles that represent Agile Vision, as traditional development methodology was failing too often and they came up with Agile Manifesto that emphasizes four important Agile

Agile methodology is a software development lifecycle which designed to produce faster development and high quality results compared with the traditional lifecycle. The Agile method focuses on incremental and iterative development where requirements, specifications, design, implementation, and testing continue throughout the project lifecycle (Nanthaamornphong, Morris, Rouson & Michelsen, 2013). Agile software development methods enable software developer to be more flexible and responsive to the changing environments and customer demands. However, Agile adoption comes with special challenges and fundamental organizational changes are necessary for successful outcome.

Prior to this course, I thought that in order to manage a project you need to be a project manager. However, this course changed my perspective on project management. As I continue to read the book, I realized that I actually manage many projects, and project management is not only limited to organizations. Throughout our lives, we manage many projects from planning a wedding to building a house, some of those projects may take few days and some may take years to complete. In addition, I also learned that there are no two projects that are alike, each project has it’s own unique elements that set it apart from other projects.

Compared to the agile, another famous software development mode called waterfall is driven by technique documents and this mode require the team to write a lot of requirement documents containing all the requirements to a certain software. It is written to allow people to understand what software should do. So the developers will develop the functions of software according to the documents strictly. But the agile software development just focuses on the necessary document. It is avoid taking a lot of time to write the requirement documents. Its opinion is that the face to face communication between the human is the most important thing. So the agile think the human is

Software development is one of the highest demands in all over the world. We use software development techniques to solve the problems and to satisfy customers. Agile software development is a conceptual framework for software; it is also a group of software development methods based on iterative development. In 2001, agile software development was created by seventeen people with a desire to find alternative approaches to software development. The most important thing about agile methods are team work, conveying information to the team, face to face conversation, and satisfy the customer. There are various methodologies but I am going to describe the most popular ones.
