PROJECT METHODOLOGY
The proposed web application Online Procurement Management System
is developed using the Agile Project Management process framework
SCRUM. One of the major factors to consider the Scrum frameworks
includes:

 A light weight process that shall ensure that the project is developed
efficiently and effectively.
 The Sprint based approach shall be much suitable for the proposed
web apps as the application is to be delivered in regular intervals.

Figure.1. Scrum Process Model.

 The Scrum process model to develop the proposed model is illustrated in
the figure above. As per the confined sprint duration, an increment for the
proposed web application is visually observed and can be evaluated using
the Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog. The sprint ceremonies such as
Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective are
used to inspect and monitor the progress of the application development.
Sprint framework shall accommodate the change requests as per the project
sponsor in the upcoming sprints.
