- 2. • General issues • Linear method • Incremental method • Iterative method • Adaptive method • Extreme method IT Project Management 2
- 3. • Clarity of goal and solution; General issues 3
- 4. • Domains increase with unclear goal and solution: – Risk; – Team cohesiveness; – Communications; – Customer involvement; – Lack of specification; – Change. General issues 4
- 5. • Balancing staff process technology: General issues 5
- 6. • Migration strategy between S, P and T: General issues 6
- 7. • Migration strategy between S, P and T (cont.): General issues 7
- 8. • Staff-driven environments: General issues 8
- 9. • Process-driven environments: General issues 9
- 10. • Technology-driven environments: General issues 10
- 11. • Linear SDPM strategy: – Simplest and most intuitive; – Assumption: Nearly perfect information about goal and solution as can reasonably be expected and not easy to accommodate any deviations. Linear method 11
- 12. • Incremental SDPM strategy: – First variation of Linear Method, can modify the process to take advantages; – Assumption: • Goal and the solution must both be clearly defined and documented; • Require the complete documentation of requirements, functionality, and features. Incremental method 12
- 13. • Iterative SDPM strategy: – First departure from the comfortable world of the Linear and Incremental, into the unknown; – Assumption: • Requires a solution that broadly covers the requirements, but might be missing some of the details (missing some depth / features); • Allows for several types of iteration as Not all of the solution is clearly known; • Use of intermediate solutions to discovering the intimate details of the complete solution. Iterative method 13
- 14. • Adaptive SDPM strategy: – Second step into the unknown; – Assumption: • Encounter where the solution might be totally or partially unknown; • Missing both depth and breadth of the solution (features and functions); • All of the conditions in the Iterative Method applied here (iteration, change to converge to a complete solution, etc. – Limit: More risks, uncertainty and complexity. Adaptive method 14
- 15. • Extreme SDPM strategy: – First place in Research and Development (R&D) mode; – Assumption: • Goals and solution are not known or not clearly defined, as fuzzily defined; • Process repeats itself over and over again (either the partial solution converges on a satisfactory solution); • No fixed budget or timeline; • Open to a lot of changes. Extreme method 15
