- 4. Agenda Background about NCTR Diversity of NCTR Domains The challenges of adapting project management methodology NCTR journey of finding out suitable project management methodology. Software Department as an example.
- 5. Background about NCTR Nile Center for Technology Research (NCTR) has been established in the middle of the year 2007 as the first center in Sudan for applied research and development (R&D) in most of the fields of ICT, electronic. The center is a governmental organization that belongs to the National Telecom Corporation (NTC) and registered at the business register of Sudan according to a license from the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). NCTR launched three high class R&D centers in the most sounding, specialized, and leading universities in Sudan, University of Khartoum, Sudan University for Science and Technology and Karary University for Technology, in the fields of information technology, electronics systems and communication and navigation systems, respectively.

- 7. The challenges of adapting project management methodology in NCTR Diversity of NCTR products High uncertainty Research nature of some NCTR projects Selection of the Right Development Lifecycle Requirements management Tools Working on taskforce culture QC
- 8. NCTR journey PMI - 2008 - 2010 (Waterfall) ASAP for ERP implementation 2011 – Now (Waterfall) PRINCE2 2011 – Now (Scrum, Waterfall) The Motivation to switch to PRINCE2 Come from IT background Managing by stage Business case Focus on product Integrated with other IT methods such as ITIL More suitable for NCTR Etc Introduction of New NCTR Organization Structure 2014 – Now Product Focus Based On NCTR Domains

- 11. Business Application Department 2012 Establishment of software department Consist of 3 section : Implementation, Development and Support. Products : SHAMIL ERP, NileDox DMS, NileCare HIS Two types of projects : Implementation, Development. Implementation Project based on ASAP methodology More than three implementation projects. Development Project based on PRINCE2 for governance level and based on Scrum in delivery level. 2 development projects.
- 13. ERP Implementation Project Recommendations To achieve successful implementation project you have to consider the following Contract. Stockholder management. Gap analysis Communication. Customer Top Management commitment. Key users involvement. Following up the methodology
- 14. Software Development Project Based on PRINCE2 for project governance level. Based on Agile Scrum for project delivery level Three management stages Pre-delivery Stage. Delivery Stage. Post-delivery Stage. Three main roles : Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team.
- 15. Governance Level
- 16. Delivery Level
- 17. Software Development Project Pre-delivery Stage Preparation Building Up Product backlog Setting up release roadmap Next stage planning - Workshop Requirements Pritorization Number of Sprints Sprint Goal for each sprint Sprint Length Next Stage Authorization

- 24. Lessons Learnt A void copycat of ready made methodology. Do not let the consultant lead you. Look for consultant when really needed. Consultant for coaching, training, verification creation of methodology is your responsibility . Simplicity is beautiful. Learn from Experience. Heavy documentation is not mean success of project. Leadership and communication are very important for project success.
