OVERVIEW OF MODERN METHODOLOGIES OF IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Abstract. The subject of this article is the methodology of IT project management. The purpose of the work is to review modern mechanisms of IT project management in order to clarify the approach to optimization (rationalization) of the process of estimating the cost of IT project. The article solves the following tasks: analysis of standards, concepts and approaches to IT project management appropriate methodology for a project. The following methodologies are used: Waterfall (cascade model), Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Hybrid and Spiral methodology. The following results were obtained: It is determined that the methodologies of IT project management can be divided into traditional (cascading) and flexible, and all others – their combinations. The essence of Waterfall methodology, Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Hybrid and Spiral models is revealed. It is indicated for which IT projects each of them is most suitable. An analysis of national standards in the field of IT project management. It is determined that according to the current State Standard "Information Technology" the creation of IT project as an automated system is reduced to eight successive stages: requirements, concept development, terms of reference, draft design, technical design, development of working documentation, implementation, maintenance . This State Standard, like others, is outdated and does not cover all aspects of project management, such as cost. International standards of IT project management have been studied: IPMA (Individual Competence Baseline), Prince 2 (PRoject IN Controlled Environments 2), P2M (Project and Program Management for Enterprise Innovation), Project Management Knowledge Management Guide (PMBOK), Management Guide Knowledge in Software Engineering (SWEBOK), Business Analysis Knowledge Collection Guide (BABOK). The interaction of knowledge gathering management in the formation of IT project cost management methodology is illustrated and it is determined that it is at the intersection of management to knowledge collection on project management, software engineering and business analysis that the methodology of IT project cost management is formed. As part of the review of IT project management standards, it is highlighted that separate standards can be selected for corporate IT project management due to the difficulty of reconciling them. Conclusions: Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that IT project management methodologies are indispensable tools for the implementation of successful IT projects. The choice depends on the characteristics of the project and its team and any methodology must be adapted to the specific project – there are no universal approaches.
