Abdelghany Salah, Nagy Ramadan, Hesham Ahmed · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2017
Many software projects are still behind schedule, over budget estimates and fail to meet user requirements.One of the important reasons for those failures is a lack of project management.With the growing trend of adopting the agile methodologies, there are two opposite sides: agile and traditional project management approach.It is advisable to use both approaches or to combine them within a software company.This may be useful for software companies that run different projects using different project management methodologies.So, the question is how to integrate both approaches in a single project management framework.In this paper, the researchers propose a novel approach that combines different project management methodologies based on the alignment of their ontological models.Two project management methodologies are considered: Scrum and PMBOK representing agile and traditional approach respectively.This approach also helps introduce new tools or integrate the existing tools for supporting this integration.
