Part $3$: Project Schedule Management

Remember that project schedule management is different in agile projects than in traditional project management. For example, agile projects do not always require activity durations or project schedules. However, after reviewing the scope documents prepared in Part $2$ of this case, two members of management have expressed misgivings about the team$$s ability to complete the work by the deadline and to bring the project in under budget. Also, they are concerned that other company work might require portions of the project programmers$$ time. Remember that an emphasis on stakeholder interactions and collaboration is a key component of agile projects, and management is certainly a key stakeholder. Therefore, some scheduling work will be necessary.

Because of management$$s concerns about scheduling, they have requested that you add two members to your team:

$$ Aziz, a Quality Assurance tester who began his career as a programmer

$$ Barry, a member of Third Avenue$$s three$-$person accounting staff
