The Value of Communication Management in Agile Project Environments

Abstract

In today's business environment, a less agile way of working is no longer a business choice. Implementing the agile method is not for fashion and not for keeping up with the “newest and greatest” trend. Without the agile method, it is difficult to implement any other strategic initiatives, such as digital transformation. Agile development focuses on the evolution of user needs and then uses a step-by-step approach as well as an iterative approach to software development. This paper finds that communication is vital in agile project management. The author puts forward some opinions on the communication management of agile projects, including the establishment of the information portal and agile communication matrix. Additionally, a literature review is performed to illustrate how certain variables, concepts, and models can assist in project management. This study takes a design-science-investigate approach to assess pre-existing literature.
