Abstract: Abstract This paper aims to demonstrate, in a theoretical and practical manner, the flexibility and efficiency of using the Agile methodology in software engineering. The study will present the new methodology versus a traditional one (Project Management Body of Knowledge—PMBOK), outlining the advantages and drawbacks of each of them. The case study will focus on using two different methodologies (PMBOK and Agile) for the same project. It is a small, free software-based project that will be designed in the academic environment by two teams of master students (one for each methodology) during their one-semester project management class. In the conclusions part, we will summarize the results and emphasize the way we see the future of software development area, and then we will lay out future work directions.
