INTRODUCTION
This presentation will deal about the basic terminology that will be
helpful in understanding the functional part or the Agile method
implementation. Agile project management has been benefitting the

PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
Agile methodology is one of the major project management methodology
that is used in commencing project management in a drastic manner.
Replacing waterfall model and gaining acceptance has been one of the

ISSUES TO BE DISCUSSED
This power point will discuss about the functional process of Agile
methodology. Benefits and disadvantages of the same is also discussed.
Operational process of Agile method is also discussed. Recommendations
to avoid the issues will also be stated in the power point.

UNUSUAL TERMS
• Waterfall methodology: A project management methodology that was
used before introduction of Agile methodology
• Lean software development: translates lean manufacturing principles
and functional practices as per the software domain.

AGILE METHOD
• Agile method is one of the most used terminology that provides a
continuous iteration process. Concurrency in the testing and
development process is efficient unlike the waterfall model

AGILE METHOD
The 4 cores of Agile methodology are as follows: -
