M.Ing. (Engineering Management)
The main focus of this research study is based on the field of agile project engineering management; this includes the challenges and benefits of agile project engineering management at the First National Bank. Agile tool is becoming popular for small to medium projects; it is continuously and gradually being adopted as internal business units strive to please the customer needs and wants.
Most business units within the bank decided to adopt the agile methodology instead of previously used traditional waterfall methodology, which would enforce the business units to wait for the eighteen month project delivery cycle which may often result in delivering of the wrong product to the market. The idea of agile delivering in short cycles which is two weeks and quarterly project release is appealing. Business units want to get better at producing products and services to targeted customers faster.
Agile uses an approach that is value driven which enables the project management administrators and managers to produce high quality work, high priority and this results in the project managers look more effective and efficient to stakeholders.
