Performance Evaluation of Application Mob Programming Technologies in IT Project Management

In the modern world, software development companies face a number of problems, such as an increase in the volume of code, an increase in the number of errors, an increase in the complexity of projects and an increase in requirements for quality and speed of development. To solve these problems, it is necessary to reduce costs, increase team productivity, reduce time for testing and debugging code, as well as improve the quality of their products, i. e. achieve competitive advantages by improving project management systems and communication in the team. The aim of the research is to find solutions to achieve competitive advantages of an IT company to improve the efficiency of project management and improve product quality through the use of mobile programming technologies. This approach has not been sufficiently investigated in the context of the Kanban methodology for workflow management. Thus, research in the field of using mobile programming in Kanban allows us to expand knowledge about the possibilities of this methodology and its applicability in various conditions. The article used experimental research, namely conducting experiments to compare the effectiveness of work and communication of teams using mobile programming within Kanban with teams not using this this methodology. The analytical method of research, comparative analysis (to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the Mob Programming approach), the tabular method of providing information, for greater clarity, interviewing was also used.
