Applying agile to data center project

Abstract

Data centers are highly complex things, and complex things can quickly become unmanageable subject to time, cost, and quality or performance called iron triangle. The traditional project management (TPM) is based on a predictable, fixed, relatively simple, and certain model. It is dissociated from change in the IT environment and business needs of project life cycle (PLC). Scrum is the leading agile development methodology, used wildly with adaptive change requirements and complex systems. The Scrum methodology proposes to transform the way project team to tackle complex and dynamic projects, bringing the Scrum framework and agile approach beyond data center project management (DCPM) to the real world of project deployment.
