A Heavy Weight IT Project Management Framework Based on Agile Theory

The heavyweight IT projects have so high complexity and uncertainty that the traditional process management method should be improved. In this paper, the features of complexity product system(CoPS) of IT project, the modularity of CoPS and its separation, the dynamic process of IT product developing have been discussed, then a heavyweight IT project management framework based on agile theory was proposed. It contains several models such as the concept model on stochastic Petri net for complex IT product separation, the behavior model for flexible teams, the just enough rules set of reloading method and the core process of agile development base on knowledge transfer. This framework can reflect the trend of traditional IT development method changing to agile method, providing a basic management rule for improving software development efficiency and quality of IT product.
