Abstract:
Business traditional software development methods rely on a work plan to extract complete sets of documentation, architectural, and high-level project development and control requirements. Agile has gained immense popularity in the field of computer science in recent years, although it combines acceptable software engineering practices with the controversial ones. The software industry has finally come to the conclusion that specific project characteristics such as purpose, scope, requirements, resources, architecture and size determine the methodology that best fits the project realities. The paper presents hybrid approaches, combining the PRINCE2 methodology and the Scrum method, in order to take maximum advantage of the methodologies and minimize their disadvantages by using the strengths of one methodology on the weaknesses of the other.
