Project Lifecycles

Reorder the stages in the lifecycle of a project?

• Planning

• Initiation

• Implementation (Control & Monitoring)

• Closure

Why is it important to identify project stakeholders during the initiation stage?

• To understand their needs and expectations

• To create a project schedule

• To assign project tasks and responsibilities

What happens if there are changes or new requirements in the Waterfall methodology?

• Changes are ignored

• Changes require significant effort and may delay the project

• Changes are easily incorporated without affecting the project timeline

• Changes are documented for future projects

In Agile, what is the benefit of frequent customer feedback and adaptation of requirements?

• It eliminates the need for project documentation

• It ensures strict adherence to the project plan

• It allows for changes to better meet customer needs

• It minimizes the need for testing

Assign the following characteristics as Waterfall or Agile.

Groups:

(a) Agile

,

(b) Waterfall

• Upfront planning

• Linear phases  

• Flexible/Adaptible

• Constant Review

• Testing at the end

Agile Methodology

• You anticipate changing needs and requirements; a need for multiple deliverables over an extended period; improving processes and workflows.

• When collaboration is needed; interdisciplinary coordination and early stakeholder involvement.

• Deadlines and resources constraints are known; the project is straightforward and not overly complex; not necessary to work close with stakeholders.

Integrated Project Delivery

• You anticipate changing needs and requirements; a need for multiple deliverables over an extended period; improving processes and workflows.

• When collaboration is needed; interdisciplinary coordination and early stakeholder involvement.

• Deadlines and resources constraints are known; the project is straightforward and not overly complex; not necessary to work close with stakeholders.
