Abstract

When managing software development projects, it is common to have some problems during the iterations of the project. This work presents an analysis and review of agile methodologies and some of the most well-known project management techniques, all these methodologies and techniques contextualized in the computational scope. Based on this information was possible to propose a new model more comprehensive that allows the mitigation of some recurring problems in the progress of software projects and give to final users good results. It was detailed a case study of an innovative project entitled “Calculadora CUG”, where the combination of referenced techniques and concepts were introduced in the development process allowing more flow to some of the features of the project pointed out by the client (first final user) and to create, in a way, more efficient releases in involvement with the user.
