In this journal, the principle of using lean and six sigma metrics in agile scrum methodology projects for performance improvement is explained. Six Sigma is a business philosophy focusing on continuous improvement, based on a statistical measure of variability. Scrum is an agile project management methodology that can be used to control software and product development using iterative, incremental practices. Overall lean and six sigma focuses on performance improvement and agile focuses on rapid development. By applying lean and six sigma metrics on scrum models helps to improve the performance quality and quick deliverables to customers.

This journal introduces the reader the background of Big Data Analytics and how efficiently Agile methodology can be applied to achieve the business goal. The journal focus on giving background of Big Data and how using Agile practices such as iterative, incremental, and evolutionary style of development can be applied for Big Data Analytics. This methodology brings in the advantage of involving business community during development and continuous delivery of working user features.

Software Development methodology is a framework that is used to structure, plan, and control the process of developing Software to achieve project goal. Many software development methodologies exist in market and choosing right model for developing software product or application is very important. “Waterfall Model” is traditional model which was used by majority of software development in early days. As maturity of model evolve over different period of time “V Process” Model became very familiar because of its verification and validation approach to make the software stable. Very recently “Agile” Methodology is being used by many companies to benefit the time to market. In this Journal we will see the advantages and disadvantages of both “V Process” model and “Agile” Model. Later we will see the advantage of integrating both process models to achieve project goals in efficient way.
