Assessment
The past decade has witnessed a significant surge in the complexity of software development projects, with numerous uncertainties surrounding the execution of Agile projects. Among the various challenges encountered by project teams, a prominent one is the adaptation of practices to meet the increasing complexity. Investigate the effective scaling of Agile methodologies for larger projects or organizations, considering the complexities arising from overseeing multiple teams and sustaining agility on a broader scale.
Assigned as a project management consultant for an emerging software development company, your responsibility involves conducting a thorough literature analysis focused on this particular aspect. Subsequently, produce an analytical report investigating the scalability of Agile methodologies for larger projects, exploring the challenges associated with managing multiple teams, and outlining efficient project management strategies for handling the complexities inherent in large-scale software projects.
Your task involves conducting a literature search to identify at least ten (10) academic research papers relevant to this research area. Following this, you are expected to perform a critical analysis of the chosen references, offering a comprehensive discussion on how they contribute to the understanding of the topic.
Assessment Requirements
The structure of the report must consist of 5 sections as follows:
• Introduction
Statethepurposeandobjectivesofthereport.
• Literature Review
Document a review of literature on Agile/SCRUM project scope management.
• Discussion
Discuss the references, and critically analyse them and discuss how they reflect the topic. You need to discuss the methods employed in handling scope changes within SCRUM projects, explore the challenges associated with them, and outline the effective scope management strategies to maintain control over project scope.
• Conclusion
Summarise your findings by emphasising the key points of the report.
• References
Provide the list of references following the Adapted Harvard Referencing style.
Your assessment should present the current state of knowledge in the specific area of the topic, and it should have a narrative that flows smoothly from one paragraph to the next.
Additionally, the final submission should consist of no fewer than 2,500 words.
