Proyect Management: Agile Project Management and PRINCE Metodology

The agile methodology with scrum-based approach has worked effectively for our organization because it is flexible and iterative with continuous feedback and constant communication and favored by frequent and short delivery schedules (Chang, 2010). This approach brings about a high level of competence and high level of motivation to work. It also instills discipline and respect for time by

Agile techniques should be used to solve the current issues faced by the company as agile techniques normally being used by the software industry help the business to act in response under the unpredictable situations faced. In Agile methodologies opportunities are been provided to evaluate whether the project is under the direction all through its development cycle. All this is being accomplished with the help of regular tempo kept in work, and the teams must show a product which is having the desired potential.

Agile is an iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach to software development which is performed in a highly collaborative manner by self-organizing teams within an effective governance framework, with "just enough" ceremony, that produces high quality solutions, in a cost effective and timely manner which meets the changing needs of its stakeholders [1].

In conclusion to this paper I have found that the Agile Manifesto is a great approach to use when it comes to understanding Agile and was that it can better our future. The three principals can be viewed as 1) prediction do not always come out to expectations but learn to adapt to the outcome,2) find people with the skills needed to accomplish the goal but that can also work as a team and 3) figure a way to adapt to new and refine way of things. I know that the principals that have been established are not only great tools to help build, maintain and move software but are great steps to use when really working with any type of project.

Agile Development is a term coined in 2001 during two-day meeting between seventeen people who gathered at Snowbird Ski Resort in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah(Highsmith, 2001)[3]. The people gathered were the software pioneers trying to establish a common ground and a united stance in worldwide software development community. The outcome was an extraordinary Agile Manifesto for software development. The below table gives an influential value set from The Agile Manifesto of 2001.

This paper reviews agile software and its strengths and weaknesses.,Likewise, it talks about the four factors that apply in agile software: product, project, process and people ,in addition to some methodologies of agile software such as Scrum, XP.

Agile is the management of incremental software development across cross functional teams. Learned from years of successes and failures, the agile philosophy centers on software development with an importance with self-organization, motivation, in addition to daily team interaction. It means being able to present working software instead of slides and documentation. Agile encourages customer collaboration throughout the entire process to allow developers to respond to change in a timely manner. The agile development process can be implemented by different developmental processes and is comprised of several key principles. With personal experience of the outcome of correct agile implementation; agile can have the opposite effect without

Agile software development is defined as “set of methods that support incremental software development” [1]. Agility means responding to changes quickly and efficiently, flexible production system. Possible changes required in software projects are in requirements, budget, schedule, resources, technology and team. For successful software these changes should be reflected in the product. The term agile software development and the agile golden principles were defined in agile alliance meeting in 2001.

[3] “Agile methods are iterative and incremental, each successful development iteration, it delivers the product to the client and so satisfies the customer faster than traditional development”.

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.

To meet and exceed the expectations of the Business, Client organizations are progressively looking at using agile methodologies for software development. Agile methods attempt to minimize risk of software development by developing software in short time boxes, called iterations. An agile software development process release new working version of software at the end of every iteration. Scrum is one of the most popular agile development methodologies increasingly being adopted by IT firms.

Abstract—Our objective is to investigate on the agile models and their practices in the software technologies. Agile software methodologies are being widely accepted these days. In this paper we look at methodologies that promote agility. The study contains the quantitative analysis of the agile methodologies in practice and the benefits at present industry. In this paper we deal with What are the software practices that can be considered agile into the context of approaches to develop software?

Matharu, Mishra, Singh, & Upadhyay (2015, p. 1) state that, “agile methods are characterized by shorter development cycles, higher customer interaction, incremental delivery, frequent redesign with accommodation of changes necessitated by dynamic user requirements.” The Agarwal et al. text explores three of the most popular agile methods, Scrum, Extreme Programming (EP), and Kanban. All of these agile methods follow The Agile Manifesto (Beck, et al., 2001).

[3] “Agile methods are iterative and incremental, each successful development iteration, it delivers the product to the client and so satisfies the customer faster than traditional development”.

Team members with diverse skillset and knowledge would be useful when developing software using agile. This whole team approach encourages effective and efficient team. It allows rapid project delivery. Project feedback is possible at early stages of software development lifecycle (Cockburn, Alistair, and Williams 2003). Therefore agile methodology is considered as cost as well as time effective.
