Agile project management is a practice in software development that promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and encourages rapid response to change. It focuses on iterative development, frequent inspection and adaptation, close collaboration, and delivering working software frequently. The Agile Manifesto values individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over following a strict plan. Common Agile methodologies include Scrum, Feature-Driven Development, and eXtreme Programming.
A couple years ago, a company I was working with, asked me to share with them the use cases and benefits of Scrum. It must have really sparked the management’s interest as they asked me to come up with an Agile implementation strategy for the company. This is the presentation I would like to share with you as I believe many curious, mid size, web development shops out there might be seriously thinking about adopting Agile or some hybrid form to supplement their Waterfall process.
Get on the path to continuous delivery
While there are plenty of resources and tools to begin tinkering with automated software delivery and application release automation, what makes the difference between delivering software infrequently vs. on-demand? Watch now to learn three key considerations you should make if you’re serious about continuous delivery.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
(Finally) moving to an agile practice: More than an industry buzzword, agile development practices are crucial to unlocking the full potential of continuous delivery while offering a means to benchmark progress.
How to get full control and visibility into the software delivery pipeline: When teams spend less time manually pushing software out, they can assess and address process pains and obstacles.
Why standardizing your software delivery process and toolchain is critical: Silos exist across the software delivery lifecycle because of the sheer number of different tools available: it’s time to standardize these to break down the silos.
Presented by: Rahul Singh, VP of Engineering and Michael Olson, Senior Product Marketing Manager.
Deliver on time and improve communication with the business to minimize project failure.
Your Challenge
The Agile evangelists are having trouble converting others to the Agile philosophy.
Your team is facing pressure to deliver projects in a smaller time frame. The Waterfall approach is causing projects to go over budget, misunderstanding of project owners’ expectations, and late delivery to the end-customer.
Projects that get implemented successfully may be susceptible to problems as the software gets older and crucial changes are too expensive.
A consolidation roadmap that is based on an easy-to-implement method will ease the burden on resource and infrastructure maintenance.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Agile is not suitable for all organizations, or all projects. Carefully select pilot projects that have the greatest chance of success and determine the right requirements or risk significant cost overruns to fix problems or roll back development.
An Agile rollout may require peripheral projects to be accelerated.
Agile will modify internal roles and processes. Get ready for change management.
Impact and Result
Agile will improve communication and transparency between teams and stakeholders, which will lead to higher quality products and fluid team dynamics.
The success of the Agile pilot should be used to build the case for an organizational-wide deployment.
In order for your organization to stay competitive, it must place focus on delivering projects at a quicker pace with the right features.

Laimonas Lileika — Hybrid Project Management: Excellence Behind a BuzzwordAgileLAB
Laimonas Lileika will encourage you to unleash your Project Management creativity by combining Agile and Waterfall paradigms.
This speech is for you if you are interested in:
- Importance of Context in Project Management;
- Most frequent misperceptions about Agile and Waterfall models;
- Pragmatic approach to project management: how to make a hybrid work in real.
Agile and Waterfall are two distinct methods of project management.
The Waterfall model can essentially be described as a linear model of project development. Like its name suggests, waterfall employs a sequential process. Development flows sequentially from start point to end point, with several different stages: Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Implementation, and Maintenance.
In contrast, the Agile method proposes an incremental and iterative approach to project development. It was essentially developed in response to the limitations of Waterfall, as a way to give more freedom. The process is broken into individual models that team work on. There is no pre-determined course of action or plan with the Agile method. Rather, team-mates are free to respond to changes in requirements as they arise and make changes as the project progresses. Agile is a pretty new player to the development management. However, it has made substantial gains in use and popularity in the last couple of years.
Webinar: Development with Agile, Waterfall and Agile-Waterfall HybridIntland Software GmbH
Watch this webinar recording to learn about the fundamentals of Waterfall and Agile development, as well as the “Agifall” Hybrid solution that aims to combine the benefits of both approaches. After introducing both approaches, this webinar discusses the two most widely used Agile methodologies: Scrum and Kanban. Through a live demonstration, the webinar also shows you how to manage projects with either of these development frameworks in codeBeamer.

An agile project starts with defining the requirements, and this is done through Agile User Stories. User stories articulate the functionality that is required by the user, and are expressed in writing, in simple and lucid terms. Once the requirements are clearly defined using this format, the rest of the project methodology can be systematically put in place.
Scrum is the world's most popular agile software development methodology. But does it really bring the benefits that it promises and, more importantly, is it right for your business? In this presentation, learn how Scrum can maximize your delivery team's ROI and empower you for long-term success.
Speedbump or Springboard? Leveraging Change to Move Nintex Promapp ForwardEileenTan67
It's a fact of life that things change. Business is always in flux – changes in market conditions and staff movements can challenge even the most robust process improvement plan. But these 'bumps in the road' can also be huge opportunities. Get tips and examples for how you can drive forward with Nintex Promapp during those times when things don't go exactly as planned.
Adopting a hybrid, user-centric project methodology such as Agifall can reap fantastic rewards, if implemented in the correct setting. Be sure to contact us at Newpath Web if you would like further information or to discuss any of your project management needs.
Agile project management is an iterative method of determining requirements for engineering and information technology development projects in a highly flexible and interactive manner. One difference between agile and iterative development is that the delivery time in agile is in weeks rather than months. Both iterative and Agile methodologies were developed as a reaction to various obstacles that developed in more traditional project management. For example, as technology projects grow in complexity, end users tend to have difficulty defining the long term requirements, without being able to view progressive prototypes. Projects that develop in iterations can constantly gather feedback to help refine those requirements.

If you watch this one please rate it and do share this presentation to others so then can easily learn more about the Agile Methodology.
Agile is one of the most important topics . Software testing interview preparation requires
knowledge of agile methodologies and terms.
Important Topics :
Agile - Manifesto
Agile - Characteristics
Agile - Daily Standup Meeting
Agile - Release Planning
Agile - Iteration Planning
Agile - Product Backlog.
Agile Software Development is an iterative development process . Scrum and Kanban are the common methodologies in Agile.
Comprises of various approaches to software development under which requirements & solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of cross-functional teams and their stakeholders.
Qu'est-ce donc que l'Agilité déjà ?
Quelle est la différence avec Scrum ?
Je fais quoi avec mon Gantt ?
Est-ce que le Web est un bon candidat ?
Pourquoi est-ce que je vis autant de difficultés ?
Par où dois-je commencer ?
Cette introduction (ou ré-introduction) vise les vendus et les désabusés, les initiés et les nouveaux intéressés. C'est un rafraichissement sur l'agilité qui permettra de faire un petit pas en arrière et mieux préparer les prochains. Pour certains, ce sera un retour sur les fondements de l'agilité et pour d'autres ce sera la satisfaction d'une curiosité qui perdure. Avec plus de dix ans d'expérience, l'agilité a maturée mais pourquoi reste-t-elle difficile à maitriser ?

6. Traditional Vs. Agile
Iterative life cycle
• Evolve the entire set of
deliverables over time,
completing them near the
end of the project.
Waterfall life cycle
• It is strictly sequenced: you
don’t start design until
research is done and you
don’t start development
until the designs are signed
off on
• Completes small portions of the deliverables in
each delivery cycle.
Agile life cycle
9. Agile manifesto (values)
• Individuals and interactions over processes and
tools
• Working software over comprehensive
documentation
• Customer collaboration over contract
negotiation
• Responding to change over following a plan
10. Agile principles
• Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through
early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
• Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of
weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the
shorter timescale.
• Business people and developers must work together
daily throughout the project.
• Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development. Agile processes harness change for the
customer’s competitive advantage.
11. • Build projects around motivated individuals. Give
them the environment and support they need,
and trust them to get the job done.
• Working software is the primary measure of
progress.
• Continuous attention to technical excellence and
good design enhances agility.
• The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a
development team is face-to-face conversation.
12. • Agile processes promote sustainable
development. The sponsors, developers, and
users should be able to maintain a constant pace
indefinitely.
• Simplicity, the art of maximizing the amount of
work not done is essential.
• At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to
become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its
behavior accordingly.
• The best architectures, requirements, and
designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
13. What do we get?
• The end result is a product or project that
best meets current customer needs and is
delivered with minimal ,
- costs
- waste
- time
14. It’s different
• Speed to market
• Flexible agile
• Risk management
• Cost control
• Quality
• Right product
• Transparency
15. Agile Project Manager
• Assign tasks
• Maintaining values and practices
• Removes impediments
• Helps to turn the requirements into a working software
• Facilitates and encourages effective and open communication
• Holds meetings
• Enhances the tool and practices used in the development
process.
• Motivates the team
• Plays the role of a mentor and protector to the team
• Make decisions on behalf of the team
• Involved in technical decision making or deriving the product
strategy
18. Scrum
• Copes up with complexity and risk
• Time is divided into short work cadences
• No speculations, decision making from real-
world results
• Inspects and adapts feedback loops
• Shippable state at all times
• Stakeholders and team members meet to plan
its next steps
22. Conclusion
• Traditional project management is insufficient to
manage the inevitable change inherent to
embedded software projects. Agile project
management, however, is well equipped to aid
project managers and software development teams
in managing risk, scope, budgets, and schedules to
create successful, valuable products.
• It is everyone's (developers, quality assurance
engineers, designers, etc.) responsibility to manage
the project to achieve the objectives of the project.
• The agile project manager plays a key role.
