How does the agile approach enhance transparency and accountability in project management?

The agile approach enhances transparency and accountability in project management in several ways. Firstly, it involves regular communication and feedback, which ensures that all stakeholders are kept informed about the project's progress. This transparency allows for early detection of issues, enabling quick resolution. Secondly, the agile approach breaks down the project into smaller, manageable parts, each with its own deadline and deliverable. This makes it easier to track progress and hold individuals or teams accountable for their tasks. Lastly, the iterative nature of agile allows for regular reviews and adjustments, ensuring that the project stays on track and meets the stakeholders' expectations.

Question was asked on:

A more detailed agile process breaks down the personnel involved in the lifecycle. The project begins with the stakeholders, which could be both internal and external, an executive or investor, or even a user persona with a development request. Their demands are communicated and then translated into project specs. The project specs are then managed by the project or product owner. This team leader prepares reports that will be used to manage the backlog of requirements to be developed and dispatched. In this example, there are three main versions. After each version's release, there will be a backlog of areas for improvement (based on feedback) to implement before the next release. (Slide 6)
