An Agile Project System Dynamics Simulation Model
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper compares established Systems Dynamics (SD) models of software projects with models of agile development. A new minimal SIMULINKTM agile project model was created and compared to a Waterfall model of a NASA project. Results are presented to enable project managers to predict the performance of future agile project processes. The model includes the time to generate the requirements and a function to provide requirements volatility. These models show that for the same productivity and fraction of errors that are satisfactory, the overall development staff costs are similar for agile and waterfall projects and the undiscovered rework is less for the agile project. This model generally supports empirical observations that shorter time-box iterations yield a shorter overall project completion. An Agile Project System Dynamics Simulation Model

متن کاملA Systems Dynamics Model for Project Management systems of Project-Based Organization
It is obvious that the success of a project-based organization is dependent on its projects. A variety of tools such as the project excellence model, project management maturity models, the earned value method, have been developed in this regard, but there are still delays in projects because the projects have dynamic nature with non-linear relationships and feedback processes during the projec...
متن کاملAssessing hybrid incremental processes for SISOS development
New processes are being assessed to address modern challenges for Software-Intensive Systems of Systems (SISOS), such as coping with rapid change while simultaneously assuring high dependability. A hybrid agile and plan-driven process based on the spiral lifecycle has been outlined to address these conflicting challenges with the need to rapidly field incremental capabilities in a value-based f...
