Abstract

Companies that are forced to carry out value creation programs in drastic changes, in the environment are trying agile development while proceeding with projects aimed at improving productivity and seeking new forms of business promotion (DX). There is most of the software development is outsourced to SI companies, and although resources are unreasonable and wasteful, a waterfall type method with less risk is selected. However, it is said that agile development is suitable for the realization of DX. In this paper, we show the difference in leadership when practicing waterfall development and agile development and consider the change in management when P2M is applied to agile development.
