- Feasibility implementation of agile project management in a Rocketry University ProjectPublication . Silva, Jeremy da; Saúde, José Manuel Mota Lourenço daThe need for effective project management practices is particularly important in the context of space projects, where the stakes are high, timelines are tight and budgets are constrained. Currently, there are limited studies that examine the application of project management methodologies in the context of the space sector, especially at the university level, and this dissertation seeks to address this gap by presenting a case study of a student-led rocket project. Its research framework is based on the European Rocketry Challenge requirements and the team used agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban to manage their work. By presenting the different phases of the project, tools and techniques used for planning, monitoring, requirement and risk management, the dissertation provides a practical guide for university-level projects, where resources are limited and teams are often composed of students with limited experience in the sector. Overall, this work highlights the challenges and opportunities of managing a space project at a university level and provides insights that can be applied to future projects in this field. Furthermore, it can inspire and guide future generations of students to pursue their passion for space exploration and project management.
