Abstract

Today market is affected by uncertainly and sudden changes, in these conditions most of the models used in the 20th century to manage and develop projects are not still efficient. Waterfall model, probably the most famous between them, especially for the software development, is characterized by a strict “frame” which can’t cope with the turbulent needs of actual market.

In recent years innovative ways to manage projects are been developed with a particular focus on the flexibility of these methods in order to cope with the customer’s and market’s needs; surely Agile Project Management is between them. APM embraces the principles of lean production trying to apply them in the software development to avoid waste and increase responsiveness to change. It represents the solution to the unpredictability of the market in which customers require the right product for the right price at the right time, and the only way to do this is to have the capacity to welcome change even late in development.

In this article they will be explained the basics of APM with a particular focus on the Scrum methodology which is used to develop software.
