Comparative Analysis of Agile Methodologies

Individual academic poster for the Agile Development for Managers module comparing five Agile methodologies — Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming, Scaled Agile Framework, and Lean — across key criteria including practices, tools, team roles, strengths, weaknesses, and suitability for different project contexts. Included a SWOT analysis for each methodology, a comparative suitability matrix, real-world case studies from LEGO, BBC, and Bosch, and a decision-making flowchart for methodology selection.

Teams often adopt an Agile framework without evaluating fit. The study examined how methodology choice affects throughput, governance and stakeholder confidence.
