Projects Planning and Execution in SCRUM, DSDM, and Lean Software Development

Using SCRUM, DSDM, and Lean Software Development

There are a number of frameworks that have been used for agile development and project management. This assignment is to discuss how projects are planned and executed in SCRUM, Dynamic Systems Development Model (DSDM), and Lean Software Development. 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.
