Why Project management is so important
Imagine a scenario where all activities were dealt with on the fly. No plans, no association,
none of that. We simply concise the group on what should be done and they hop straight in.
Like heating a cake. You wouldn't draw up an activity intended to prepare one, no?
Lamentably, most ventures are intricate and diverse, requiring cautious arranging, putting
together, and observing.
Simply by having an organized methodology, supporting cycles, and plainly characterized
obligations, directors can convey heavenly outcomes while remaining inside the task's
requirements. Be that as it may, regardless of worldwide acknowledgment and the conspicuous
advantages and benefits of venture the board, the field remains undervalued.
What is the Traditional Vs Agile Methodology
01. What is Traditional Methodology?
Traditional project management (waterfall methodology) is a written method in which the
processes take place in a predictable sequence. In this way, the project operates from a predesigned stage and assumes that requirements remain unchanged when the project budget and
schedule are changed. This approach is more suitable for projects where the likelihood of scale
change is minimal.
The project manager's office bears all responsibility for the project and reports on the results.
Despite the project planning process, even clients do not comment during the project
implementation phase. Similarly, in the event of a problem, team members should report the
matter to their manager, who has the final say.
Because traditional project management in the development phase relies on proper planning
and analysis, the resulting development process has been completely simplified. This allows
the project manager to focus on different tasks, as the project team works without a minimum
of guidance if an issue does not arise.

Project managers use the techniques and tools developed by the Institute of Project
Management (PMI), a global body of project management professionals that develops
standards and frameworks.
Benefits of Traditional methodology
Benefits
Info
Clear direction
This allows them to work efficiently and
with minimum supervision.
High level of Control
This prevents deviations from the original
project scope.
Single point of Accountability
Instead of contacting several people,
Stakeholders always know who to approach
during the project to get all the necessary
updates.
Clear Documentation
The documents not only standardize the
whole process but also can be used for
guidance during other projects in the future.
Weaknesses of Traditional methodology
Weaknesses
Description
Too slow
It is going to be a slow development if your
client isn’t clear about the requirements.

Sandhuni | GAMA/A-014727
SAD
Since the changes are difficult in the
sequential methodology of traditional
project management. The changes can break
the sequence and the next development step
will be trodden upon until the previous step
isn’t completed.
No Customer focal point
There isn’t much space for the customer’s
opinion in every development process. The
clients are not involved or being open to the
entire development process until the product
is ready. If it is not according to a client’s
requirements then it’s going to be a timewasting phenomenon.
Sick and poor time management
The time mismanagement issue can arise in
traditional methodology due to a lack of
mutual teamwork, unity, and mutual
development
Lack of intuitiveness
There isn’t much space for new ideas to
employ in Traditional Methodology. The
sequential method doesn’t have room for
continuous evolution. You cannot do much
but just follow the sequence.
The absence of the central authority
Individual subcontractors are controlling the
ropes of development. There isn’t any
singular dynamic teamwork and leadership
as a central authority.
02. Agile Methodology with examples
So you're a project manager, maybe you've been doing it for years, or maybe you woke up one
day and realize that you've somehow fallen into the project manager role without even
intending to. By now, you've probably come across one of project managers’ favorite
buzzwords, agile. It's a term that's thrown around all the time in the world of project
management. Regardless of how many years you've been at the job, you may still be
wondering, What on earth is agile project management? And that's exactly what I'm going to
3
Sandhuni | GAMA/A-014727
SAD
explain when people talk about an agile project management methodology. But they're usually
describing is a flexible iterative design and build process. Okay, that's great. So what does that
mean? agile projects are characterized by a series of tasks that are conceived, executed, and as
a situation demands rather than a pre-planned process.
being agile helps teams respond to unpredictability, through
incremental, iterative work processes. Let's take a look at an example. A chef wants to make
the world's best agile burger. They know the only way of making that burger is to get insights
from customers on what that burger should be. The requirements are pretty flexible, and the
chef wants to use short feedback loops with customers to quickly iterate on the burger and
make it awesome. So the chef and their team collaborate to make the first burger. This is the
first product iteration. The chef has delivered some value but needs feedback so they can iterate
on the product and deliver more value next time. So as a way of testing and learning, the chef
shares it with a customer and the customer gives it a five out of 10 they get the feedback that
the butcher is okay, but adding bacon would make it better. So the chef works with the team to
make another burger and bacon. This is the second iteration of the product. This customer gives
it a six out of 10. So the chef is delivering more value than the last time, but they need to keep
iterating so they can get to the world's best burger. The chef continues to create iterations of
the burger testing with customers learning from them how to improve the product, and then
iterating on the recipe to progressively add more value. Over more iterations, cheese,
mushrooms, and pickles are added to iterate on the burger and customer satisfaction goes up as
the burger becomes the world's best agile burger. Through an iterative process, the product
increases in value as it becomes more aligned to what customers want. an agile project
management process is very much like the chef, it requires project teams to cycle through a
process of planning, executing, and evaluating as they go along.
Other project management methods usually assumed that factors
influencing the project are predictable. They mean that the majority of the planning happens
before the projects begin. Agile, however, emphasizes adaptability to changing situations, as
well as adequate and ongoing communication among the project team and between them and
the client. Because of the agile, iterative nature, it reduces risk and allows for a better end
product. If unexpected events occur. The project will have intervals with designated goals and
tasks. And once that period comes to an end, the team will meet, evaluate and reassess what
needs to happen to move the project forward to success. agile methodologies are great to use
in dynamic environments, where there's potential for changing or evolving requirements, such
as software and game development. So to wrap things up, an agile project is flexible and doesn't

require all the planning to occur at the beginning of the project. The product solution evolves
throughout the lifecycle of the project as the team reviews and realigns as necessary, making
agile projects more likely to succeed.
Benefits of Agile Methodology.
Benefit
Information
Enhanced Flexibility
gile is ‘hands down’ more flexible. Since the
entire project is divided into smaller sprints,
introducing changes midway gets extremely
easy.
Transparency
In this approach, the whole team decides the
plan together and shares the ownership of
the project which improves project
transparency. Similarly, customers are also
involved throughout the project and their
feedback is taken into account for an
acceptable final product.
Effective Collaboration
5
in the case of Scrum project management,
the most popular Agile methodology, teams
have daily ‘stand-up’ meetings and sprint
planning where the team discusses their
progress, problems, and plans for the day.
Sandhuni | GAMA/A-014727
SAD
Efficient Problem Solving
Team members also have the autonomy to
make trivial changes without getting
approval from the project manager which
saves a lot of time and stimulates progress.
Reduced Complexities
In the case of the traditional approach,
sudden changes or problems sometimes take
the team back to ‘square one’.This results in
the wastage of both time and money.
Weaknesses of Agile methodology
Weaknesses
Description
Workflow coordination problems
Agile projects involve several small teams
working on their software pieces. They
should always coordinate their work with
each other, testers, and management. Add to
that constant interaction with the customer,
and you will get a ton of communication
management to consider before starting the
project.
Difficult to planing
Planning in Agile development is essential
before the process is started. It is important
to assess your resources, build up teams,
and communicate an overall vision of the
project to them before it is kicked off.
Professional teams are vital
Agile projects require teams to make
serious decisions constantly. It means that
only experienced software developers,
testers, and managers should be working on
the project.
Not supportive for Long term planning
A lack of final vision of the project may be
disorganizing in some cases. Your project
6
Sandhuni | GAMA/A-014727

may end up off track if the customer
changes his mind too often during the
process.
What is the better methodology,
The flexibility of the structure is more in line with the ever-changing demands of today's
industrial environment. However, in some cases, the traditional approach may be the best
option.
Consider factors such as the nature of your project, current organizational processes, budget,
and project duration. Many project management tools can implement any of the above
methodologies. By choosing the right framework even before you start your projects, you are
setting yourself up for success from the start.

What is the feasibility study means?
An analysis and evaluation of a proposed project to determine if –
01. it is technically feasible,
02. it is feasible within the estimated cost, and
03. it will be profitable.
Feasibility studies are almost always conducted where large sums are at stake. Also called
feasibility analysis.
Importance of feasibility study.
A plausibility study is led to decide the achievement and limit the dangers identified with the
task. At the point when it turns into sure that the particular venture could be completed
productively, it is really at that time it very well may be carried out. The practicality study isn't
simply an undertaking research, however a system or an arrangement on the best way to build
up and run a business effectively over the long haul. A plausibility study contains five

fundamental segments, including statistical surveying, monetary examination, board research,
plan assurance, and specialized exploration.
01. marketing study: Promoting research is directed to assess whether the task is
appropriate for the flow and future authoritative culture. In this interaction, the
specialists will glance in discovering information on generally sway on business
structure, representatives an association. Deal projection is likewise one of the essential
pieces of statistical surveying. The fundamental goal of promoting research is to
recognize the objective buyers, know the interest of the customers, comprehend the
market qualities and assess the components that give an incredible effect on the
purchasing choices.
02. Financial investigation: Monetary arranging is vital to deal with the various tasks of the
association inside as far as possible. In monetary exploration, the analysts cover the
appraisal of complete capital necessities, deals, and costs, equal the initial investment
yields, the measure of deals needed to accomplish benefit in the business. It assists
business visionaries with finding out how much cash is needed for taking care of a
business project effectively.
03. Management study: The executive’s research is led to decide the general assets needed
for the fruitful fulfillment of the task. A few activities, such as assembling will require
more actual asset while some IT project requires loads of HR.
Steps of feasibility Analysis
Feasibility investigation is done in after advances:
● Structure a Venture Group and Select a Task Chief: Above all else project the
executives gathering of the association structures separate groups for free undertakings.
Each undertaking group contains at least one frameworks investigator and software
engineers with a task chief. The undertaking chief is liable for arranging and dealing
with the improvement exercises of the framework.

● Start Fundamental Examination: The frameworks expert of each venture group begins
starter examinations through various actuality discovering methods.
● Set up the Current Frameworks Flowchart: After starter examinations, the experts set
up the framework flowchart of the current framework. These diagrams depict the
overall working of the framework in a graphical manner.
● Depict the Insufficiencies in the Current Framework: On contemplating the
framework’s flowcharts, the experts distinguish and portray the lacks in the current
framework.
● Decide Objectives of the Proposed Framework: The significant objectives of the
proposed frameworks are recorded by every examiner and are talked about with the
venture chief.
● Set up the Proposed Frameworks Flowchart: In the wake of deciding the significant
objectives of the proposed framework, the examiners set up their frameworks
flowcharts. Frameworks flowcharts of the proposed framework are contrasted and those
of the current framework to guarantee that they meet the objectives.
● Decide the Specialized Feasibility: The current PC frameworks (equipment and
programming) of the concerned division are recognized and their specialized
specifications are noted down. The examiners choose whether the current frameworks
are adequate for the specialized necessities of the proposed framework or not.
● Decide the Monetary Feasibility: The experts decide the expenses and benefits of the
proposed framework to guarantee that the venture is financially doable.
● Decide the Operational Feasibility: Subsequent to deciding the financial feasibility, the
investigators recognize the dependable clients of the framework and henceforth decide
the operational feasibility of the undertaking.
● Show of Feasibility Examination: During the feasibility study, the experts additionally
continue setting up the feasibility study report. Toward the finish of the feasibility

What is the scope of the Program?
In the proposed system, the Project director creates a project and a “project profile” for each
project. The creation of the project profile includes identification of project employee costs,
the assignment of tasks to the project, and the assignment of a project manager.
The project profile is consisted of the project id, project personnel cost, a list of tasks assigned,
and the project manager. The Project Director also creates the teams for a given project, assigns
employees to the teams, and assigns a team leader.
The Project manager is responsible for assigning tasks to various teams working on the
projects(s). The Team Leader assigns tasks to the team members.
