INTRODUCTION
Project management can be defined as an application of skills, knowledge, techniques and
tools to all project activities for meeting all project requirements (Radujković and Sjekavica,
2017). This study is going to show some important Agile PM principles that can help project
managers in accomplishing their goals and knowing their effectiveness. Kit will further discuss
effectiveness of contingency theory of project management by which project manager can
perform all activities with efficiency.
TASK 1
Possibilities OF applying Agile PM principles during the project
In regard to Agile project management it can be said that it refers an iterative approach to
delivering a project throughout its lifecycle in order to make projects successful. For better
success, it is important for project managers to follow all principles of agile project management
such as
Satisfying customers through earl and continuous delivery: The first agile principle
says that project managers should give the highest priority to satisfy customers’ needs by
continuous delivery of valuable software. It is believed that by providing early and continuous
delivery of products, company generate faster ROI by meeting customers’ demand.
Delivering value: Other Agile principle states that project manager should provide value
frequently from a couple of weeks to couple of months (Hidalgo, 2019). The main aim of this
principle is to decrease batch sizes that employees use to process work.
Breaking silos of project: Other Agile principle state that for better results and
improvement, it is important for developers and business people to work together daily
throughout the project. The main aim of this principle of changing developers’ word to engineers
or designers is to create synchronization between all those stakeholders who help company in
creating value and to those who plan or sell it.
Face to face communication: Rather choosing any another way of communicating with
stakeholders, project managers is asked to choose face to face communication in order to convey
information in a better way.

An appropriate project approach questionnaire
1. What is the main agile principle that is vital for project’s success?
 Face to face communication
 Satisfying customers through continuous delivery
 Team working
Interpretation: Majority of participants or stakeholders said that according to them satisfying
customers’ through continuous delivery is vital for making projects successful. When customers’
get valuable or qualitative projects and services then it makes them feel valued and retain them
with business for the long run (Malik, Ahmad and Hussain, 2019).
2. How agile principles and project approaches can help project managers?
 Increase ROI
 Increase performance of projects
Interpretation: When participants or employees were asked about effectiveness of project
approaches then majority of people said that if project manager follows all principles then it can
help them out in increasing ROI. When customers get valuable services then they buy products
and are less likely to switch brand and it leads to ROI.
Clear review on agile project management approach
Overall, in regard to agile project management approach it can be said that this software
development methodology is centred round the idea where requirements of stakeholders as
solutions by project manager evolve. It is all based on collaboration between cross functional
teams (Kaim, Härting and Reichstein, 2019). In this context, it can also be said that this approach
can help EBTH in auction website development and can help it out in accomplishing goal of
generating revenue from $8 to $70 million in only 4 years.
TASK 2
Roles and responsibilities that has been introduced in the case study
