Project Management and Agile Methodologies: A Survey

Abstract. This paper examines analogies and differences derived by the adoption of Agile Methodologies (AMs) in a set of software companies from the point of view of project management techniques. Data come from questionnaires filled in by twenty-one managers. The analysis of these questionnaires shows that managers using AMs focus on people and process more than the other managers do. The adoption of AMs seems to be a good starting point for improving software development and customer satisfactory.
