Read the scenario below then answer the questions that follow: Project : Develop Custom Software A small IT company you work for has been commissioned to develop a custom software for a large organisation. During the requirements gathering meeting, the following was established: • Not all requirements are clear • End users will not be very involved in the project • Formal documentation is required during and at the end of the project. • The project is considered small in terms of duration and workload, hence small team is planned for with mainly a linear project plan • 2 iterations are included due to the unclear project requirements • The software is considered non-critical to the organization The organisation requires for existing processes to be used.
In their paper, Andersen et al (2006) stated that the basic idea behind the traditional, rational and normative project approach is that projects are relatively simple, predictable and linear with clearly
defined boundaries which all makes it easy to plan in detail and follow that plan without much changes. On the other hand, Agile project management approach is intended for projects characterized by high level of uncertainty, unclear project goals or incomplete and unpredictable requests, for which it could be assumed that will be significantly changed during the course of the project .With reference to the statement and scenario above, Motivate why a mixed methodology (Agile
and Traditional Methodology) is most ideal for this project. In your answer, ensure that you address what was established in the meeting.
