Project Outline (brief outline with breakdown of individual tasks for group projects)
Agile project management is an iterative and incremental method of managing the design and build activities for engineering, information technology, and new product or service development projects in a highly flexible and interactive manner. It is widely used within project management environments as a rapid mobilization methodology. Many service oriented organizations consistently have challenges with service delivery specifically within the context of customer service. What role could an agile approach play in assisting organizations to find more “flexible” solutions to customer service challenges? Can an agile model be modified to support customer services problems given its predominance in software development? This research explores the feasibility of applying agile methodologies outside of its traditional framework to support faster customer responsiveness/problem resolutions through the lens of hybrid agile model development.
