 Methodolog
y Agile
 This methodology is used when a project
needs extreme agility in requirements.
 The principles of this methodology are:

 Individuals and interactions over

processes and tools.
 Working software over
comprehensive documentation.
 Customer collaboration over
contract negotiation.
 Responding to change over
following a plan.

“Being Agile is more of a philosophy, Business projects with successful cases

rather than a process you can directly
apply to a project”(Muslihat,2018).

 Conclusion
■ Following a project management methodology will not guaranty the
success of a project. But it can help to organize the projects into a
structured, streamlined process. Additionally, It increases the
possibility to make team collaboration more efficient and projects
become better organized.
■ There is no good or bad methodology, simply there are project
management requirements that must be met in a different way.
