Abstract:

The topic of the diploma thesis has been built on project management and provides a more in-depth look at this topic. It gives a summary, defines the fundamental terms, and then discusses two main project management methodologies. The purpose of this study is to recognize when using traditional methods and when using agile methods in the development of IT project management methodologies. Individual approaches are described, and their development is recorded. In the case of the traditional approach, attention is paid to the methodology called Waterfall. This methodology is characterized by an elaborate plan, a linear procedure, comprehensive documentation. For the agile approach, the work mainly deals with the SCRUM methodology, the essence of which lies in an iterative process (Sprints), effective response to changes and is used when it is not possible to completely determine the procedure to achieve the goal of the project. Subsequently, the differences of these are listed methodologies and their selection is justified on practical examples of IT projects.
