Agile project management is a relatively modern concept which is now widely used across organisations for executing projects with speed and accuracy. Agile project management allows organisations to deliver the projects which require iterations and help them move to market fast. Gone are the days where the organisations had to wait for months and years to check if the product is successful; thanks to Agile Project management.
When compared with the traditional method of Waterfall SDLC, Agile allows more flexibility, accuracy, and scope changes. This helps to verify the ideas faster and ensure that successful ideas are built upon the successful base. There are multiple ways to implement Agile Project Management as it is an ideology and not a method.
Agile Project Management has allowed to create different project management tools which help to manage and assimilate the information with more grace and success.
Five essential attributes form the core of our Agile Project Management system.
Agile strives on indexing the scattered information into a single source. This helps every stakeholder in the process to view the information and communicate with each other more effectively resulting into lesser chances of miscommunication and the errors arising due to it. The data sources are very transparent and everyone knows everything, and changes which are made in any aspect of the project.
This is the ultimate goal of having a Agile Project Management Structure. The idea is that everyone on the teams knows basics of the project. This results in reduced dependency, better knowledge sharing, and faster executions. Gone are the days where only on skill per person was a good idea. In the current fast paced environment, it is necessary to have people with multiple skills; which can be achieved with practice of Agile project Management
The current space of Internet, there is everything one imagines and more. In current competition it is essential that the product is tested fast so that the success and failure can be determined quickly. This allows for better product which can be moved relatively fast. This adaptability is achieved by Agile project Management; since it is the very philosophy of being Agile
To make a project or a product successful it is essential that everyone part of the project or product has the ownership and role in the process. This ultimately results in a team mentality which takes ownership without prompting or hesitation. This allows for very smooth and accurate execution of the project.
Delivering a project alone is not sufficient. Managing the project is equal or more important. This requires continuous management, monitoring, and quick resolutions. Since Agile Project Management allows for a swift execution, it is go to Project Management method for continuous improvements of a project or product.
Our Agile delivery process is a cycle of continuous adaptation, and the implementation happens in the following phases.
This will allow everyone and anyone associated with the project to have sense of what is going on with the process. This can be as frequent as twice a day; depending upon the requirements
Whenever an artefact is executed and tested, it needs to be displayed for better understanding. This is done using Workshops where everything is touched and explained to entire team
The ultimate goal is to have a team which works on autonomous mode where little to no supervision is required. Once the team is agile it is more or less in zen mode.
