Abstract:

There have been limited studies that have developed Agile Techniques Model that adequately compared the pros and cons of various types of agile techniques. This research study develops a conceptual model that provides insights and understanding on agile techniques and methods to top management team members, software developers, project managers, and researchers. It develops the Agile Techniques Model to help investigate the pros and cons of various types of agile techniques. The theoretical background for our research model is the Stakeholder Theory. The results from our model support the conclusion that the agile project quality management method developed in the last fifteen years has proven to be useful, if not more useful, compared to the traditional method. However, the key objective of this research is to follow up on both the positive and negative factors to further test its probability. The information described in our model, proves that the agile project quality management method demonstrates both pros and cons on the techniques used within a project. The case studies from the literature in our research reiterate that agile methods increase productivity on the products for customers, but lacking communication is a common negative factor that stands out among all the cons.
