Evaluating Agile Development Models
Preparation
There are a number of frameworks that have been used for Agile development and project management. The purpose of this assignment is to discuss how projects are planned and executed in Agile development models, such as ?SCRUM, Dynamic Systems Development Model (DSDM), and Adaptive Software Development (ASD).?Using real-world examples in your assignment is highly desired. One way to do that is to relate any projects at your workplace or from your research and think about how you, as a project manager, would run the same project under those frameworks.
Instructions
Write a 5-6 page paper in which you:
Analyze the manner in which projects are planned and executed under the following frameworks and provide one example for each: SCRUM, DSDM, ASD
Highlight three benefits and three trade-offs for each of the following frameworks: SCRUM, DSDM, ASD
Determine the potential obstacles for using the following frameworks and analyze the major risks and issues associated with each of them: SCRUM, DSDM, ASD
Suggest key strategies from the perspective of a project manager to avoid the obstacles you identified. Recommend key actions that you can take in order to mitigate the risks associated with those frameworks. Provide three real-world examples to support your suggestion.
Use at least five quality resources in this assignment.
Discussion
Having a poker face can be a blessing or a curse as a project manager (PM). Explain how well (or poorly) you can show your poker face as a PM for a project that is not going as well as it should. Assume the project is your project from Week 2. Justify your response.
Mitigating Risks
There are multiple ways to bring threats and vulnerabilities to light. Common practices and lessons learned can help us explore for known or common threats.
Write a 3-4 page paper in which you:
Explain the differences in threat, vulnerability, and exploit assessments for information systems and define at least two tools or methods to perform each type.
Describe at least two tools or methods used to implement both physical and logical security controls (four in total), then identify the type of security personnel that would be used to implement each and discuss their roles and responsibilities.
Describe three considerations when translating a risk assessment into a risk mitigation plan; and discuss the differences between a risk mitigation plan and a contingency plan.
Explain the two primary goals to achieve when implementing a risk mitigation plan and discuss at least methods of mitigation for common information system risks.
Use at least four quality resources in this assignment.
Discussion
Review the locations of Google data centers by visiting Google's Data Center Locations.
Research at least two domestic and three international locations of Google at the website.
At each of your chosen five locations, predict risks that Google must include in their risk mitigation plans based on the geographical location of the data centers.
