1. Project management methodology
The agile PM methodology is mainly utilized for industrial wastewater treatment. It is
found that agile is one of the process by which a team can be capable of managing the entire
project by successfully disintegrating the project activities into a number of challenges that
further involves continuous improvement as well as iteration at every stage of the project. It is
opined by Rasnacis and Berzisa (2017) that it is an incremental as well as iterative approach
which is helpful in delivering different types of requirements within the PM lifecycle. The agile
project helps in exhibiting various types of central values, empowerment as well as collaboration
within the project team. Agile methodology is quite helpful in providing a lot of opportunities for
the different stakeholders and the team members of the project. With the help of this particular
methodology, the clients are involved in each stage of the project and there is very much high
degree of collaboration between the clients as well as team of the project by giving a number of
opportunities for the entire team for properly understanding the vision of the project. As this
particular approach helps in providing a unique opportunity for the client for becoming iterative
throughout the project from prioritizing various features that are related with iteration planning
in order to successfully review the different types of sessions frequently that further contains
different types of new feature. As each of the sprints has a fixed time, therefore the project cost is
considered to be very much predictable and mainly restricted to the work which is mainly
performed by the team (Serrador and Pinto 2015). In addition to this, the team requires to be very
much focussed on properly delivering subset of the products feature during each of the iteration
and this there is an opportunity that is provided for refining as well as reprioritizing the activities.
As per the methodology that is utilized for undertaking the waste water treatment project that is
further helpful in providing scope, timeline and different types of project uncertainties.

Scope of the project: The scope of the project includes:
 To undertake the work of industrial waste water treatment
 To intake raw water and undertake the work of clarification
 Disinfection, lime softening as well as Ion exchange are also an important project activity
 Proper membrane filtration
Timeline of the project: By utilizing the agile project methodology, the entire project is
categorized into a number of project activities and sub activities. After successful analysis, it is
analyzed that the industrial water treatment can be completed in 39 days. The timeline of the
project is showcased with the help of the below table.
