The article is of interest to me and relevant to the chapter 14 as it discusses the Agile project management techniques which has become the new buzz word in the project managers world.
The agile programming techniques is shift from traditional project management methodologies such as the water fall method which is sequential in the software design lifecycle and lets software project managers and employees adapt to changing circumstances rather than impose rigid project controls.
In today’s world system development is conducted in very volatile environments as organization adapt to rapid changes in technology, markets and social conditions.
The article discuss six practices in Agile methodology such as nurturing small organic teams, establishing a guiding vision with simple rules ,championing open information that can be accessed by everyone in the team and adaptive leadership.
The Agile project methodology is very popular among managers who manage software projects that deal with web site development which needs rapid iterative delivery, flexibility and working code.
