The following Website may be helpful when completing this assignment:

• DSDM Consortium, located at http://www.dsdm.org/

The following resources may be helpful when completing this assignment and
are located in Week 4 of the course shell:

• “Product Development with Scrum” (You may also view the
  article at http://www.agilelogic.com/files/ProductDevelopment….)
• “Agile Project Management and the Real World” (You may also
  view the article at www.diglib.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/01PMGLyn….)
• “Lean Software Development” (You may also view the article at
  http://www.projectperfect.com.au/info_lean_develop….)

There are a number of frameworks that have been used for agile development
and project management. The purpose of this assignment is to discuss how
projects are planned and executed in SCRUM, Dynamic Systems Development Model
(DSDM), and Lean Software Development. Using real-world examples in your
assignment is highly desired. One way to do that is to relate any projects at
your workplace or from your research and think about how you, as a project
manager, would run the same project under those frameworks.

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze the manner in which projects are planned and executed under the
   following frameworks and provide one (1) example for each:
   1. SCRUM
   2. DSDM
   3. Lean Software Development
2. Highlight three (3) benefits and three (3) trade-offs for each of the
   following frameworks:
   1. SCRUM
   2. DSDM
   3. Lean Software Development
3. Determine the potential obstacles for using the following frameworks and
   analyze the major risks and issues associated with each of them.
   1. SCRUM
   2. DSDM
   3. Lean Software Development
4. Suggest key strategies from the perspective of a project manager to avoid
   the obstacles you have identified in Question 3. Recommend key actions that you
   can take in order to mitigate the risks associated with those frameworks.
   Provide three (3) real-world examples to support your suggestion.
5. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment.
   Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality
   resources. You may use the resources above or others of your choosing.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch

  school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
  instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s
  name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and
