2 SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
1. Introduction
In order to manage a project in an appropriate manner, it is essential to choose an
effective project methodology. Agile project management framework is mainly chosen for
management of software projects. Agile project management framework can be described as an
iterative approach of planning, guiding and management of project processes (Stellman and
Greene 2014). It is beneficial for software projects as agile projects are completed in small
sections called iteration. Division of a project into a number of smaller sections or iteration can
help in easier management. Each phase in agile is followed by a testing phase which incorporates
collection of feedback from the clients. This helps in development of customer centric products
according to the specifications of the clients. In this article, two agile project management
frameworks such as DSDM and scrum will be discussed. Agile methods such as DSDM and
Scrum appear to take away as much control as possible for senior managers and put the same in
the hands of entire project team. The article will be analysing whether it is a really good idea to
take away all control away from the project team.
2. Agile Project Management Framework
Agile project management processes generally focuses on continuous improvement for
delivery of quality products. The example of agile project management framework includes
DSDM and SCRUM.
2.1. DSDM: Dynamic Systems Development Method
Dynamic system development method can be described as agile framework for project
delivery that is used for software development method (Matharu et al. 2015). Dynamic system
development method is an incremental and iterative approach, which is based on rapid
