ABSTRACT
In Agile programing, through the use of various products that promote Agile software, isolated changes are immediately tested and reported on when they are added to a larger code base. Integration management is a collection of processes required to ensure that the various elements of the projects are properly coordinated. It involves making trade-offs among competing objectives and alternatives to meet or exceed stakeholder needs and expectations. The focus of this tool is to identify and eliminate any non-value activities and to reduce the wait time between consecutive steps wherever possible. Takt is a German word that can be roughly translated as “beat.” Takt time is the rate at which a completed project needs to be finished in order to meet customer demand. Time management in general falls to the project manager; however, project time management is considered differently than the typical meaning.
