Integrated System for Managing Projects through a Flexible Methodology

In an environment of many and rapid changes, as well as expectations for high results in a short time period, it is a practice to combine different methods of project management to achieve an adaptive approach, according to the specifics of the environment, the state of the project team and the peculiarities of the project itself. The dynamics of technology and service transformations, the highly competitive market, create new challenges in the way projects are managed. The aim of this article is, through a real case study in practice, to explore the possibilities and benefits of combining traditional, Agile and Lean design methodologies, of complementing their individual tools. The topic is relevant because there is no single methodology that can meet the complexity of the business environment today, specifics of the economic sector, appreciating resources, human factor challenges and other factors and variables that affect the success of the project. Results show that the integration of different methodologies, the use of a flexible framework, can bring benefits to both the organization and the client.

Abstract

In an environment of many and rapid changes, as well as expectations for high results in a short time period, it is a practice to combine different methods of project management to achieve an adaptive approach, according to the specifics of the environment, the state of the project team and the peculiarities of the project itself. The dynamics of technology and service transformations, the highly competitive market, create new challenges in the way projects are managed. The aim of this article is, through a real case study in practice, to explore the possibilities and benefits of combining traditional, Agile and Lean design methodologies, of complementing their individual tools. The topic is relevant because there is no single methodology that can meet the complexity of the business environment today, specifics of the economic sector, appreciating resources, human factor challenges and other factors and variables that affect the success of the project. Results show that the integration of different methodologies, the use of a flexible framework, can bring benefits to both the organization and the client.
