16 Dec IT488M2: Engage in agile project teamwork and communication.

GEL 4.01: Describe how personal experiences influence workplace culture.

Purpose:

Implementing an Agile Development methodology involves completing certain

processes that will guide the team toward completion of their objectives for each

iteration of the development. In this module you present your process for

implementing your selected development methodology and identify and describe the

key roles of the team members in the development.

Assessment Instructions:

You are the team leader for a software development project. You are developing a

new software product. Complete a 3 to 5 page paper describing your Selected Agile

development process framework that includes discussion of roles, responsibilities,

and management tools you will use to support the development process. Describe

how the positions in an Agile development team differ from more standard (SDLC)

based methodologies and how the roles of your team members are influenced by the

workplace organization and culture. Then describe how your own persona, or the

aspect of your character as perceived by others, may influence the development

process, factoring in any larger societal contexts that may impact your personal

experiences. Evaluate the strengths and limitations of your own personal experiences

in both theoretical and applied situations.

Your paper should be in the form of a development plan overview that you will provide

to your team members and your management team, showing the process framework

for the project and the general roles and responsibilities of the team members.

Focus on communication and how your methodology supports communication

between the parties involved in the development.
