Course Description
A major task in managing a software project is to select the right software methodology for your specific project needs.
It is not one size fits all, there’re many factors that you need to put into consideration before you decide the perfect approach to run your project.
You should not always go agile or always go traditional. Traditional approaches is all about control. Agile approaches is all about flexibility and accepting changes.
If you are an agile advocate then there are situations where extra control is needed. And if you are a traditional advocate then there are situations where extra agility is needed. So to decide on the best approach, I believe that you need to learn both: agile methodologies and traditional project methodologies. And this why this course is different.
it is not one way or the other, it is not black or white … it is not traditional versus agile … the reality is that most of the software projects are in between … there’s a wide spectrum between the 2 approaches and we need to learn how to decide which is the right methodology for your specific project circumstances.
In this course, we will learn the benefits, drawbacks and when to use most familiar approaches, we will also learn how different factors can affect your methodology selection, I will provide you with my personal recipe that I have successfully used for years to help you select the perfect methodology according to your specific project needs.
I will be happy to work with you to decide on the best software methodology for your specific projects and answer all your questions

Good course to help that one development methodology does not fit all projects.
By Delmi Cartagena on 1/12/2018
Excellent description of all methodologies. Good examples and listing of pros and cons. Mr Koshty's accent is ok, only a few words are hard to understand, but if you're paying attention you understand what he means. Overall a very good course.
