Agile project management is an iterative approach that emphasizes customer collaboration, adaptability to change, and delivering working products continuously throughout the project lifecycle. Key principles include customer satisfaction, frequent delivery, trust, and sustainable development, with methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban serving as frameworks. Benefits of agile include high product quality, increased customer satisfaction, better project control, reduced risks, and faster return on investment.

What is Agile Project Management?
The first—and perhaps most pure—definition of Agile project
management comes from the Agile Manifesto itself:
 Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
 Working product over comprehensive documentation
 Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
 Responding to change over strictly following a plan

What is Agile Project Management?
Agile project management is an approach based on delivering
requirements iteratively and incrementally throughout the project
life cycle with the client in mind. At the core of agile is the necessity
to exhibit central values and behaviors of trust, flexibility,
empowerment and collaboration.

22. 5 Main Benefits of Agile Project Management
 High Product Quality – Issues are addressed at the onset, with outcomes
provided in an incremental and iterative manner. Reviews are made every
end of the cycle to ensure better outcomes for the next iteration.
 Higher Customer Satisfaction – Delivering quicker and more often with
each release, while keeping customers involved throughout the project.
 Increased Project Control – Dividing work into short “timeboxes” and
parallel work cycles with good feedback loops and progress checks.
 Reduced Risks – Developing in sprints, ensuring a short time between
initial project investment and either failing fast or knowing that a product or
an approach will work.
 Faster ROI – Agile means fast product releases and ability to gauge
customer reaction and alter accordingly, keeping you ahead of the
competition, therefore benefits are realized early.

28. AGILE ADOPTION:
POTENTIAL PITFALLS

29. e
 Just jumping on the agile
bandwagon and saying you’ll
adopt every aspect, technique,
and practice of agile
methodologies usually isn’t
healthy. If you are instituting a
corporate culture change, do it
in iterative stages.
Adopting Everything “Agile”

30. e
 Just because there is some
value here in agile techniques,
should we give up on critical
path schedules, risk analysis,
and quality control? Absolutely
not. The best case scenario for
a project management office is
to pick and choose from the
methodologies, techniques,
and practices available for given
situations.
Abandoning your Project Management Skills,
Thinking, and Methods

31. e
 Resist the temptation to make
the change all at once. If you
implement these techniques in
a phased manner using an
approach, then you will be
better able to see when they
are productive and should be
adopted and when not.
