 This chapter presents the project management approach adopted for the development of Screen2Green. Since the project combines hardware development, software integration, user interaction, and academic reporting within a limited timeframe, it required a management strategy capable of balancing structure with flexibility. This chapter presents the project management approach adopted for the development of Screen2Green.

-To address this, the team adopted a hybrid project management approach combining elements of Scrum and Waterfall. Waterfall was useful for planning around fixed academic deadlines and mandatory deliverables established by the EPS programme, while Scrum supported iterative development, continuous feedback, and adaptation to technical and organizational challenges throughout the semester. This combination was considered appropriate because the project contains both predictable elements, such as milestone submissions, and uncertain elements, such as concept refinement, prototype development, and system integration.+To address this, the team adopted a hybrid project management approach combining elements of Scrum and Waterfall.

 The chapter is organized into the main areas relevant to project management: scope, time, cost, quality, people and stakeholder management, communication, risk, procurement, and project plan. Together, these sections explain how the team structured the work, allocated responsibilities, monitored progress, and responded to challenges during the project. The chapter is organized into the main areas relevant to project management: scope, time, cost, quality, people and stakeholder management, communication, risk, procurement, and project plan.
