Abstract
Agile model is a new way to approach Project, Program and Portfolio Management. It is a combination of iterative and incremental process models with focus on process adaptability and customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of working software product.[1]
Although there are some adaptive methods that are from before 2000’s, it is possible to date the concept of agile in 2001 when it was signed the Agile Manifesto.[2] The Agile Manifesto outlines 4 Core Values (individuals and interactions; working software; customer collaboration; and responding to change) and 12 Guiding Principles which are of key importance for any team aiming at using an agile methodology.
The agile model is an adaptive model that is divided in 5 phases: envision, speculate, explore, adapt and close; whereas the traditional models are based on a predictived approach (i.e., waterfall model). Both typologies of modelling have their pros and cons and the best approach to follow depends on the project/product.
Companies are using the agile model because the system is organized to talk and complete work faster to their customers, adapt to changes in projects, and ultimately grow the business.[3] It is utilized when it is necessary to divide a large project into more reasonable tasks and complete them in short iterations throughout the project life cycle, defined as the set of phases from the start to the end of a project.[4]
The model can be applied to almost any project, it is not related with the size or complexity of the project. It is important to understand where it can be implemented, and each company must work on their workers in a way that everyone knows exactly what it means to work with an agile model.
