5 (lethal) Phases
of an Unmanaged Project.

Wild enthusiasm, dejected disillusionment, search for the guilty, punishment of the
innocent, and promotion of those not involved. An unmanaged project is like a black
hole that sucks up every person, resource, and dollar—and still doesn’t deliver what
it’s supposed to.

Today’s technology demand skilled individuals to perform their job since product
development is becoming increasingly complex. However it’s not possible for everyone
to learn all the available technology before development of a new product begins.
Therefore predicting the risk involved and developing plans to mitigate or transfer it, is a
time consuming activity and the results are difficult to measure. Time to market is also
shortened, and projects are demanding products or services with little tolerance to bugs.

This situation creates the need for skillset and motivation of all the participants in the
development in order to bring the project to a successful conclusion.
Scrum, like other Agile methodologies used in SDLC (Software Development Life
Cycle) are based on small interactions and are getting a very positive impact on the
software industry today.

This book describe the Scrum framework and explore other Agile methodologies to
improve the chances of success for projects running under different environments.
