INTRODUCTION
Project management refers to the use of various types of techniques of leading a team and
achieving the goals and objectives which are set for them (Badewi, 2016). In this case study,
focus will be made on methodologies to be adopted for completing the refurbishment work at the
university.
MAIN BODY
Agile Methodology
Agile methodology is a practice in which continuous iteration of development and testing
is carried throughout the software development lifecycle of the project (Agile Methodology &
Model: Guide for Software Development & Testing, 2020).
Methods-
 Scrum- Scrum is a method in which concentration is made on management of different
types of tasks in a team-based environment (Conforto and et.al., 2016). This method can
be used for refurbishment of the hall available in the university for the business students.
 eXtreme Programming- It is a technique in which is very useful when there are
constantly changing demands of the customers.
 Crystal methodologies- This technique is mainly used in the form of different concepts
which are chartering, cyclic delivery and wrap up.
 DSDM- It is the Dynamic Software Development Method. It is used when the team
members are quite active enough and have the required power to take various types of
decisions.
 Feature Driven Development- This method describes specific and short phases of work
which makes it easier for the tasks to be accomplished.
 Lean Software Development- This method aims at increasing the speed and decreasing
the cost.
Strengths-
 Customer satisfaction- The use of Agile method leads towards the satisfaction of the
customers. Therefore this can be quite helpful for the university in developing the
business hall as per the needs and requirements of the students.
 Focus on People and interactions- This method allows to focus on people and the
interactions rather than the processes and tools. Thus this method can be very useful for
university to focus on its students and find out what they need.
