ANP Model as a Support to Decide the Project Management Style.

Agile methods in project management are trending as a reaction to the growing and changing business environment. Choosing a proper approach to managing a project is difficult. Many criteria need to be considered. Nowadays, two main approaches to project management are used -agile and waterfall. In the waterfall approach, project phases are in sequence. It means that the customer gets results at the end of the project. Agile methods are based on iterations and increments. The customer is involved in the whole project and provides feedback on the incremental product. This paper discusses creating an Analytic Network Process (ANP) model, which can provide multi-criteria decision-making. In this paper, clusters and relations are established. Clusters composition comes out on the international project management standard PRINCE2® Agile, Agile Manifesto and SCRUM Guide. Clusters include project management triangle (or hexagon), team characteristics (location, working style and communication) and team members’ characteristics (T–Shape, Pi–Shape, I–Shape, X–Shape).
