A Comparative Analysis of Agile and Traditional Project Management Methodologies and their Impact on Information System Development Projects: A Case Study of Nigerian Banking System

Nnenna Felicia Ginikanwa

Abstract: In recent years, the rapidly changing business environment has necessitated the adoption of various project management methodologies, such as agile and traditional project management methods to overcome challenges arising from complexity and uncertainties in projects. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of agile and traditional methodologies and their impact on information system development projects, within the Nigerian banking industry. A review of relevant literature revealed that both methodologies have their strengths and weaknesses, and the success of information systems development projects depends on factors including project management skills, communication, user involvement and team collaboration, rather than the project management methodology chosen. Furthermore, it was observed that factors such as organizational structure and culture, processes, and people hinder adoption and implementation of project management methodologies. To address research objectives and questions, a case study design and semi-structured interview method will be employed to gather data from fifteen purposively selected participants including project managers, information system developers, and information technology consultants from five Nigerian banks. In addition, this study outlines a plan of investigation to progress this proposal to a dissertation if necessary, detailing steps that will be utilized to gather, analyse, and interpret data, as well as draw conclusions.
