ITSU2006 Project Management Assignment: Agile Methodology Overview

This report provides a comprehensive overview of Agile project management methodology, a model of SDLC, emphasizing customer satisfaction and iterative processes. It details the 12 principles of Agile, the seven steps involved in the Agile process, and the sprint lifecycle. The report compares Agile with the Waterfall methodology, highlighting their differences in flexibility and process. It also discusses the advantages, such as faster software development and issue detection, and disadvantages, like potential documentation issues and cost estimation challenges. Finally, the report explores the application of Agile in feasibility studies and project maintenance, providing a practical understanding of its use in various industries. The report concludes with a bibliography of relevant sources.

ITSU2006- Project Management Assignment

Agile project management
methodology
 Agile stands for Advanced
Generation of interoperability for
law enforcement.
 This is the model of SDLC.
 Works for providing customers
satisfaction.
 Follows iterative way .

12 principals of agile method:
 Customers satisfaction important
 Changes are always welcomed
 Software's are delivered within time
 Sustainable development is promoted
 Simplicity is maintained
 Team aim is to deliver effective project

Process involved in Agile
 There are total seven steps, this
includes:
 Scope of the life cycle
 Pre-planning
 Iteration
 Result of iteration
 Support provided at the time of
software release
 Retirement

The life cycle of sprint:
 The steps involved in the life cycle
of sprint are:
 planning
 Developing
 Testing
 Delivering the product
 Assessment

Agile vs. Waterfall
 Different phases are divided in the
waterfall whereas agile separates into
the sprints.
 Agile is more flexible than waterfall
 Changes can be implemented at any
stages in the agile , whereas changes
cant be implemented with the waterfall
model
 Waterfall is sequential process whereas
agile is collaborative development
process.

Advantages
 Faster software is developed
 Faster turnaround time
 Less resources gets wasted
 Issues gets easily detected
 Easily problems can be fixed

Disadvantages
 Speed decreases
 Lacks proper documentation
 Designing is not done in detailed
 Cost estimation becomes difficult

Application of Agile
 Helps in feasibility study: the
development of the power station with
combining underground coal gasification,
syngas treatment and power generation.
 Helps in maintaining the project: these
helps in providing the maintenance for
the buildings, electrical plants and
mechanical plants.

Overview of the Agile
 Agile is a system development life cycle
 Used for developing the projects
 provides highest flexibility
 Simplicity is high
 Easy implication
 Follows iterative way
