This chapter discusses how the method selected to manage a project can play a role in the success of that project. Certain projects are better suited to particular models of project management. The traditional, or “waterfall,” approach; the agile approach; and a more refined agile approach known as Scrum, which will be evaluated. The Scrum approach to project management is gaining a lot of momentum in recent years but all projects may not be well suited for this method. By analyzing the different styles of project management, a discussion of the benefits and pitfalls of each approach will be completed as well as how those characteristics may contribute to risks. An examination of project types, project roles, and project management experience will be completed to provide insight for when the Scrum approach to project management is most appropriate to contribute to the overall success of a project and when it may be best to apply a different management style.

<p>Pendekatan Agile telah diperkenalkan sebagai upaya untuk membuat rekayasa perangkat lunak yang fleksibel dan efisien. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian studi kasus, dengan mengangkat kasus pengembangan sistem e-musrenbang Kelurahan Benoa Bali. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menerapkan manajemen proyek berbasis agile pada kasus tersebut. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah <em>in-depth interview</em>, observasi dan <em>focus group discussion</em>. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa waktu pengembangan proyek adalah 8 minggu. Proyek menggunakan kerangka kerja Scrum yang membagi proyek menjadi 4 sprint. Evaluasi sistem dilakukan melalui <em>focus group discussion</em> dengan pihak <em>product owner</em> dan pengguna sistem. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pendekatan agile dapat diterapkan dalam pengembangan e-musrenbang Kelurahan Benoa Bali. Pengguna sistem dapat menerima kehadiran e-musrenbang dan memanfaatkannya dalam proses pengajuan usulan perencanaan pembangunan di Kelurahan Benoa Bali.</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p><em>Agile Approach has been introduced as an attempt to make software engineering flexible and efficient.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to build a theoretic and practical framework, based on agile project management, to support the decision-making process in order to help companies in optimizing the reengineering production processes and improve management costs. Design/methodology/approach This paper seeks to propose an agile Reengineering Performance Model (ARPM) for managing projects of reengineering of processes and applies it in a real case study concerning a water bottling plant. Findings The proposed model should serve as a valuable tool to facilitate a successful business process reengineering design in the project management and intends to assist companies as they operate projects of transferring and optimizing production lines. Thanks to the use of ARPM tools, it is easy to modify the evolution of the project, with the possibility of extending or enhancing the application if necessary. Research limitations/implications The main limits of the ARPM model are: it requires close collaboration among team; it is rather intense for developers; and it is necessary flexibility to change course as needed and to ensure delivery of the right product. Practical implications The main implications of the authors’ work for research and business are to propose a structured methodological approach, rigorous but simple, suitable to implement in any companies. Originality/value The novelty of the approach is to apply the agile approach not for software development but in a manufacturing company.

In this study, we adapted the agile approach to teaching. Students took an idea from inception, through the first and second agile project management iterations, and incorporated feedback from their classmates in between. The goal was to demonstrate through a flexible process how products/services can be improved. We started with the practice and followed up with the theory. The results and metrics were positive in terms of the outcomes that the agile project management approach intends to produce. There was a clear enhancement to the product/service measured value (along 3 metrics) in the second iteration. We describe herein the context, the process, the tool used, and the results and we conclude with a small discussion on the limitations of the study.

The article focuses on the importance of project management in the IT companies’ activity, which is determined by the specifics of enterprises offering digital products and business models, as well as the peculiarities of relationships between enterprises as participants of distribution channels. The study describes the main types of IT companies, in particular, identifies the advantages and disadvantages of each type of companies. Significant differences in the activities of product and outsourcing IT companies have been identified, the main conditions for successful positioning of product IT companies have been outlined, which are: participants in project activities, phases of the digital product life cycle and the chosen business model. The specifics of the enterprises' activity – manufacturers of products and the involvement of product IT companies in this activity have been determined to be promising from the point of view of income maximizing for the participants of vertical sales channels. The example of GMDH Streamline describes the activities of a product IT company that offers effective IT solutions, in particular for forecasting supply and demand, as well as inventory planning. The article describes the proposed GMDH Streamline software solution, namely the improvement of the ERP system, and the Agile approach used in the project management process. The proposed study can be a source of information for further research on the search for mechanisms to maximize the income of enterprises – manufacturers using modern software solutions to optimize stocks, as well as forecasting the demand and supply. Theoretical provisions highlighted in the article on the possibilities of building effective sales chains in terms of planning the costs of operating activities, in particular for manufacturers can have significant practical value for company management.
