Abstract
In the Romanian economy, there is a clear need for improvement, optimization, and efficiency, not only in the private sector but also in the public sector. The economic success of industry firms depends on their ability to identify customer needs and quickly produce the products people require at minimal costs. To achieve these objectives, which involve multiple departments, product and system development is necessary. Designing and developing systems require intensive work to gather information, knowledge, and their practical application. However, despite significant efforts, it often happens that the results of a project do not meet expectations. One of the causes can be an inappropriate approach to the project. Different types of projects require different procedural models for successful execution. A procedural model organizes project management methods and tools into standardized project phases or processes. Procedural models for improvement projects can be divided into plan-driven methods, following a classical waterfall-type process, and agile methods (such as Scrum and Kanban), following an iterative, test-driven approach.
