IT PROJECT
1. Critical Evaluation of Project Management Choices
The project is undertaken for Lizzie’s Leather Belts Company, which is a medium sized
company and sells over 50 different styles of leather belts. The company aims at expanding its
business and therefore, it will be developing a website for targeting the online customers. Since
this project falls under the category of an information technology project, it is mandatory to plan
the project implementation stages before the beginning of the project. The project team members
have worked hard in identifying the project goals and in planning the different stages of project
implementation1. In implementation of an information technology project, proper project
scheduling plays a significant role. My team members have ensured that the entire project is
planned at the beginning of the project, which was further necessary for completing the project
within the scheduled time2.
In order to implement the project in a proper way, it is very essential to choose a proper
project management approach. Since the main purpose of the project is to develop an online
website or a web portal for the company, it is essential to choose a proper project management
approach that will ensure that the requirements of the company are met with the project.
This project is implemented with an agile methodology coupled with scrum. This
methodology is chosen for this project as it starts with the clear perception of the project goals,
which in turn properly analyses the need and requirement of the project owner3. In agile scrum
the entire project is divided into a number of sprints that hardly lasts for 1 to 4 weeks. The use of
