Case Study

The medium$-$sized construction company for which the web$-$based project management application is being developed is called "Builders". Builders has been in operation for over $15$ years and has completed numerous construction projects, ranging from residential to commercial buildings. The company's current project management practices involve the use of manual methods, such as spreadsheets and paper$-$based tracking systems. These methods have become cumbersome and inefficient as the company has grown.

Builders has decided to develop a web$-$based project management application to streamline their project management process. The application should be able to manage multiple construction projects simultaneously and provide features such as project planning, scheduling, budget tracking, and communication tools. The application should also be accessible from any device with an internet connection and should provide real$-$time updates to project stakeholders.

The development team for the project management application consists of a project manager, a software architect, three software developers, and a tester. The project sponsor is the CEO of Builders, and the end$-$users are the project managers, project engineers, and other staff involved in the project management process.

Builders has requested that the development team use Agile methodology to manage the development process. The project management application is expected to be completed within six months, and the development team will work in two$-$week sprints to complete the project. The project sponsor will be involved in the sprint reviews and will provide feedback to the development team. The end$-$users will also be involved in the development process, providing feedback on the requirements, and testing the application during the testing phase.
