- 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 clearlydefined 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 (Agileand Traditional Methodology) is most ideal for this project. In your answer, ensure that you address what was established in the meeting.arrow_forwardSelect the most appropriate agile methodology for approaching the project for each of the five story problems. Justify your selection. In the “Methodology or Combination of Methodologies” column of the worksheet, list the methodology or combination (blend) of methodologies you selected. In the “Justification of Methodology or Combination of Methodologies” column, write a reflection (50-100 words) for each story problem that addresses the following: What is the specific problem in the scenario? Why did you choose the methodology or combination of methodologies? Because there is not necessarily one right or wrong answer, it is important to provide a clear justification for your choice. Cite evidence from the textbook or other sources in your justification.
