    1. The document discusses project management methodologies like Agile and RUP. Agile uses short sprints for flexible development, while RUP has distinct phases from inception to transition. Organizations tailor methodologies to their needs because off-the-shelf methods may not fit their context. 2. Project integration management involves coordinating all project aspects to ensure success. It relates to the project life cycle by being applied at each phase, and to stakeholders by managing relationships and communication. 3. A well-planned project had a skilled manager, clear goals, resources, and documentation. A failed project lacked experience, planning, communication, and scope definition. Strong integration prevents failure through proper management and coordination.

    Assignment 3
    1. research a project management method such as agile and rup and how
    organizations use it, citing at least 2 references. why do u think
    organizations spend time and money tailoring a methodology to their
    environment? write a summary of your findings and your opinion on this
    topic.

    2. describe project integration management. how does it relate to the project


    life cycle, stakeholders and the other project management knowledge area?

    3. search the internet describe a well planned and executed project. describe a
    failed project . what elements of project integration might have contributed
    to the success or failure of the both?

    1) Research A Project Management Method Such as Agile And Rup And How
    Organizations Use It
    Agile was developed for projects requiring significant flexibility and speed and is
    comprised of “sprints” - short delivery cycles. Agile may be best-suited for
    projects requiring less control and real-time communication within self-motivated
    team settings. Agile is highly iterative, allowing for rapid adjustments throughout a
    project.  The main benefit of the Agile approach is that it helps teams to be ready
    for dynamic and unpredictable project development scenarios. An advantage of
    Agile is that it helps teams to regularly assess how well the project is going
    throughout the project's lifecycle. The Agile approach does not have distinct
    phases in its development; instead, a team goes through a series of iterations that
    are made up of steps. Software teams that embrace agile project management
    methodologies increase their development speed, expand collaboration, and
    foster the ability to better respond to market trends[ CITATION Art \l 1033 ].
    Unlike Agile, RUP (Rational Unified Process) is used mostly in the area of web
    application development. It is often used for developing web applications and
    websites. Rational Unified Process (RUP) provides several benefits and tools that
    can be used throughout the software development process[ CITATION Eli \l 1033 ]. These
    tools include templates (such as HTML or web templates) and examples from
    other projects that the software developer can adopt. RUP is made up of the
    following four phases.
     Inception Phase: In this phase, software developers describe the scope of the
    development project as well as a definition of the business case. The
    business case will usually provide specific details about the business.
     Elaboration Phase: In this phase, the software developers outline in detail all
    the features of the system. For example, John (as the customer) will be given
    a complete outline of all the different things that the system will be able to
    do.
     Construction Phase: In this phase, the design and source code of the
    application are developed.
     Transition Phase: In this phase, the software developers bring the completed
    software solution to the customer. In our example, this is the point at which
    John will receive his working system.

    WHY DO U THINK ORGANIZATIONS SPEND TIME AND MONEY


    TAILORING A METHODOLOGY TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT?
    Tailoring is the process of referencing framework documents, standards and other
    relevant sources and utilizing those elements that provide processes, tools and
    techniques that are suitable for that particular organization. It also includes
    modifying existing processes currently in use by the organization. As such, the
    process of tailoring is a process of customizing a project management
    methodology. The result of tailoring is that the project management methodology
    will be suitable for use in specific types of projects, and a tailored methodology
    will reflect the size, complexity and duration of the project as appropriate for the
    organizational context along with adaptation to the industry within which the
    project is undertaken[ CITATION Whi \l 1033 ]. The alternative to tailoring is an
    unmodified, off-the-shelf project management methodology. Most of these
    methodologies come with clear instructions that they should not be applied
    rigorously but should be subject to a process of tailoring to determine which
    elements are most useful to the project manager given the particular type, size and
    complexity of his or her project. Some inexperienced practitioners fail to
    understand this and apply the methodology verbatim regardless of project size,
    complexity, duration or organizational context. This very rarely leads to project
    success. However, the fault lies not with the methodology but with the
    inappropriate application by the practitioner seeking an easy solution to managing
    his or her projects.

    2)DESCRIBE PROJECT INTEGRATION MANAGEMENT. HOW DOES


    IT RELATE TO THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE, STAKEHOLDERS AND
    THE OTHER PROJECT MANAGEMENT KNOWLEDGE AREA?

    Project integration management means tying together all of the other aspects
    involved in a project to make it a success. Integration management relates to the
    project life cycle in that it is done in all of the project life cycle phases. As the
    project progresses, integration management becomes more focused. Integration
    management relates to stakeholders because it requires the project manager to
    know all of the project stakeholders, to know their interests and concerns about the
    project, and to manage relationships with them. Integration management pulls
    together information from all of the other knowledge areas
    3)SEARCH THE INTERNET DESCRIBE A WELL PLANNED AND
    EXECUTED PROJECT. DESCRIBE A FAILED PROJECT. WHAT
    ELEMENTS OF PROJECT INTEGRATION MIGHT HAVE
    CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF THE BOTH?
    A well-planned and executed project combines various key elements, such as the
    selection of the right Project Manager. This is a critical position which requires a
    person who is highly qualified and experienced in project management. He/she
    also needs to be detail oriented, and must have a good communication and
    technical skills to deal with team members and stakeholders. In most situations the
    project manager needs to be ready when facing a problem, by knowing how and
    when to negotiate. Good project management entails proper definition of the tasks
    and the ability to manage and organize people. Finally, in order to have a well-
    planned and executed project, there is a need to have an organized and clear
    documentation form the start in case if emergency happened.
    At the other hand, a failed project is the one which turned out to be unsuccessful,
    especially due to lack of experienced project manager or lack of few or many
    resources. It always arises as a result of poor management, and poor
    communication with no documentation, no time planning and no rules or standards
    followed correctly, and most cases with limited financial support. The stakeholders
    may not be acting in a way they should be and that there is no frequent monitoring
    of the project.
    The key difference between the two projects is that the successful project was as a
    result of good management, timely communication and the clarity of the project
    goals as well as the adoption of the right resources. The project manager and the
    team followed the scope of the project. The failed project is a result of poor
    management or even inexperienced management. Poor planning and budgeting
    also contribute to the failure of the project as well as poor communication to both
    the team members and the stakeholders. Lack of a clear scope is another reason for
    the failure.
