Agility requires good preparation

This podcast shows that careful preparation is essential for agile IT projects as well. Gerhard Friedrich criticizes the fact that frameworks like Scrum often neglect the early project phases and presents DSDM (Dynamic System Development Method) as a more comprehensive approach. DSDM covers the entire project life cycle, from the feasibility study to project completion, and integrates iterative development methods. The article highlights the pre-project and planning phases, emphasizing the importance of goals, architecture and resource planning. Friedrich suggests that combining different frameworks such as DSDM and PMI (Project Management Institute) can increase project success.
