2CHANGE IN CONTROL IN AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction
There are various project management methodologies for managing the projects.
However, for the development of the software projects, deployment of the agile method is
popular. The main advantage of the agile methodology is that it delivers the outcome of the
project in an iterative method. Certain improvisation can be made in each iteration before the
delivery of the final project (Hornstein 2015). This mitigates the risks in the software project
along with maintain the quality of the project outcome (Conforto et al. 2014). The main attribute
of the agile project management is that the control of the project is transferred to the project team
from the senior project managers (Gregory et al.2016). The main objective of this paper is to
discuss about the significance of this transfer and its consequences in the development process of
the project.
Discussion regarding the transfer of control from the senior manager to the project team:
The main feature of the agile project management is that this methodology allows the
involvement of the team in the development of the project. Project managers and project leaders
are present during the development of the project, however, important decision making needs the
involvement of the project team. In the agile project management method, the outcome of the
project is delivered through different iterations (Serrador and Pinto 2015). These iterations are
also known as sprints. During each sprint, project team draws out a small resources and the tasks
from the wish list (Špundak 2014). The team decides the way of the implementation of the
product using the resources for each sprints. The duration of the sprints has deadline to finish.
After the compilation of the sprints the chunk of resources are chosen by the team for the
development of next sprints (Conforto et al. 2014). The scrum master is present to keep the team
focused regarding its goal. The system shows the control of developing a product using agile
