    The student would use an Agile/Scrum methodology to develop an accounting system for a small company due to its ability to manage projects with rapid change and emergent requirements. As the project leader, the student would create a workplan with tasks, timelines, deliverables and assign resources like themselves and two classmates to develop a course web page. Progress would be tracked in a Gantt chart to coordinate and complete the project on time.

    ENTD600 Object Oriented Analysis and Design

    Dr. Charles Edeki, Instructor

    1. Suppose you are an analyst working for a small company to develop an accounting system. What type
    of methodology would you use? Why?
    I would choose the Agile/Scrum methodology to manage the development of the accounting

    system. Scrum is an agile process framework that has proven to work in project/product development

    environments that experience rapid change and/or emergent requirements. The complexity in these efforts

    can result from the domain, number of people involved, compression in time, emergent feedback and

    more. Scrum is suited for projects that require the combined intellect of more than one individual. The

    complex problems that are appropriate to tackle with Scrum require the combined focus of a team. The

    Scrum framework is for more than just software development. It was born from the need to create

    software, but is much more about enabling rapid intense human collaboration. Because Scrum enables

    such rapid feedback, it has proven itself in many domains other than software and has become generally

    applicable to cognitively intense knowledge work for teams. With Scrum, you can build and then apply

    the intellectual muscle of a team. When Scrum is applied with care, a well-formed team becomes focused

    on delivering business value.

    2. Pretend that your instructor has asked you and two friends to create a Web page to describe the course
    to potential students and provide current class information (example, syllabus, assignments, readings,
    etc.) to current students. You have been assigned the role of leader, so you will need to coordinate your
    activities and those of your classmates until the project is completed. Describe how you would apply the
    project management techniques that you have learned in week 2 reading assignment (chapter 2) in this
    situation. Include descriptions of how you would create a workplan, staff the project, and coordinate all
    activities - yours and those of your classmates.
    The workplan, task list and deliverables for the student web page development have been

    described in chart format as seen below. The Gantt chart is included to display some of the tasks assigned

    to some of the resources.
