Project Methodologies and Processes Chapter 2

Information Technology Project Methodology (ITPM) A strategic-level plan for managing and controlling the project Game plan for implementing project and product lifecycles Recommends phases, processes, tools, and techniques for supporting an IT project Must be flexible and include “best practices” learned from experiences over time. Can be Traditional (e.g., Waterfall) Agile (e.g., XPM, SCRUM)

Product Life Cycles The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a framework for describing the phases involved in developing and maintaining information systems Systems development projects can follow :

Examples of Predictive Life Cycle Models

Adaptive Software Development

An IT Project Methodology

Phases Phase 1: Conceptualize and Initialize Phase 2: Develop the Project Charter and Detailed Project Plan defined in terms of project’s:

Phases continued Phase 3: Execute and Control the Project using approach such as the SDLC.

Phases continued Phase 4: Close Project Phase 5: Evaluate Project Success
