PMGT3850 Project Management Capstone Project A

Write down a reflection report the objectives of the report is to detail the specific theories and frameworks from my previous studies that were tested and validated in undertaking the project. also experience and how fit will benefit me professionally in the future. I have completed Masters of information technology and now i am studying Global project management in this course i have studied, marketing, management perspective, contract procurement, project planing and budgeting, principal of project management, organisational behavior and people management and now i am doing capstone project management. in this course i have done a project about scrum study and change management i will attach the report about it along with the files. also the format of the report will be executive summary, introduction and conclusion.

Introduction

The project is based on scrum study and change management. Scrum is such a framework which is employed different processes as well as techniques rather than the process and building of products. Cameron and Green (2015) stated that Scrum framework is team based and it defines associated roles and events. Each of the Scrum project is highly flexible as well as iterative manner when sprint of work is tangible deliverable on the business. Firstly, most obvious thing that I have discovered is advantage in Scrum study is working as part of this project. I leant that good working is key success towards design activities when there is limitation of both time as well as resources. As each one has various points of view, therefore various ideas are produced on the Scrum study. I identified various principles of Scrum which are followed into project to make it successful.

Scrum Study

It is required to know definition of the product as stated by SBOK at the time of implementation of Scrum. In this study, I identified that decisions are taken base on observations along with experimentations in respect to detailed and predictive planning. It is based on three principles like transparency, inspection and adaption. In the Scrum study, collaboration is required to interact with stakeholders for delivering greater values as product development (Hayat & Qureshi, 2016). I identified three core dimensions of collaboration such as awareness, articulate and appropriation. There is collaboration among Scrum core team with other stakeholders to provide higher value to products. It aims to deliver valuable product and services to the customers on regular basis. I considered time as primary constraint responsible for allocation of fixed time for various scrum processes. There are various advantages of time boxing process like effective development process and less overhead (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). I go through the sprint, which is time boxed iteration exists around 6 months. Sprint time box is kept to around four weeks to achieve the success. In such cases, iteration development is more flexible and ensured that changes are made when it is requested by customers. In my point of view, Scrum is contrasted with the project methods because of lower upfront planning in addition to scheduling of activities. Serrador and Pinto (2015) discussed that Scrum helps to express knowledge rather than technical expertise.

Apart from all this, I have identified the challenges related to agile and hybrid implementation in the Scrum study (Hayat & Qureshi, 2016). There is lack of scalability of agile as well as scrum. I determined that Scrum is used into smaller projects. Scalability into the scrum project is mostly achieved with the help of SoS (Scrum of Scrum) meeting. As well as agile is used into IT projects; it is also used into non IT projects. Agile software is dealt with release along with development of software by taking feedback from the customers and users (Mendez & Pinto-Roa, 2018). Agile methodology for non-IT projects are required to interact with different tools and techniques, customer collaboration over contract negotiation, respond to changes over project plan and business value (Doppelt, 2017). Agile workflow strategies helps to negotiate risks for combat the failure into the project.

I processed with implementation of change management for delivering three of the critical outcomes. One is optimal value realization from the projects which includes of minimal productivity disruptions along with higher level of adoption. Second is effective communication, which provide of accurate as well as timely organizational wide information. The change management procedures are seeks to document and optimize for keeping the business to a high manageable positions (Dyba, Dingsoyr, & Moe, 2014). Finally, there is change management which is seek of the Scrum project procedures which are documented as well as optimized the business manageable (Elghondakly, Moussa, & Badr, 2015). Into the Scrum study report, I discussed of different processes, which deploy the change management such as understanding the purpose of changes, analyzing the change impacts, determine the change into organization enablers and barriers and development of change management plan. There are also some other processes such as create of transition plan help to deal with the changes, conduct the risk analysis plan, execute the change management plan, ensure knowledge management integrity and conduct of change management retrospective after the project (Serrador & Pinto, 2015). I have compared the challenges of change management with Scrum versus the waterfall model. After making the comparison, I observed that Scrum helps the team to deliver the products into shorter cycles, while waterfall model follows step-by-step documentation in addition to rigid process (Hayat & Qureshi, 2016). In complicated projects, the Scrum methodology is helpful to have a breakthrough to track systems plotting progress in addition to estimation of future completion dates.   

Conclusion

It is concluded that after comparing Scrum with other methods and model, it is analyzed that Scrum methodology is best method for communication among internal sectors of the companies. Scrum is advantageous regarding project visibility and transparency. Scrum is a project methodology aims to deliver products to the customers as per their requirements. Scrum is to deliver products of higher value at a small interval of time. It is analyzed that Scrum is updated theory which is associated with management of various types of projects. Most of the new organizations are going for “Certified Scrum Agile Methodology” while older organizations are going for improvement in the methodologies. The scalability of scrum is that it can be practical to any development of any university. Scrum product is something which can be measured as the service or other deliverable. Iteration development is more flexible and ensured that changes are made when it is requested by customers. Collaboration among Scrum core team with other stakeholders is provided higher value to products. It aims to deliver valuable product and services to the customers on regular basis.
