Evaluating Agile Development Models
Preparation
There are a number of frameworks that have been used for Agile development and project management. The purpose of this assignment is to discuss how projects are planned and executed in Agile development models, such as ?SCRUM, Dynamic Systems Development Model (DSDM), and Adaptive Software Development (ASD).?Using real-world examples in your assignment is highly desired. One way to do that is to relate any projects at your workplace or from your research and think about how you, as a project manager, would run the same project under those frameworks.
Instructions

Analyze the manner in which projects are planned and executed under the following frameworks and provide one example for each: SCRUM, DSDM, ASD
Highlight three benefits and three trade-offs for each of the following frameworks: SCRUM, DSDM, ASD
Determine the potential obstacles for using the following frameworks and analyze the major risks and issues associated with each of them: SCRUM, DSDM, ASD
Suggest key strategies from the perspective of a project manager to avoid the obstacles you identified. Recommend key actions that you can take in order to mitigate the risks associated with those frameworks. Provide three real-world examples to support your suggestion.
Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources. You may use the resources above or others of your choosing.
