Agile Project Management Basics
In the past, project management focused on logistics using specific processes and tools and followed a precise, unwavering plan for documentation and contract negotiations. Older approaches focused on planning upfront and did not consider the need for flexibility or the human element, often leaving project teams and customers frustrated and dissatisfied.
The new approach — agile project management — creates an environment that allows you to adapt the project as the situation demands. It allows stakeholders and team members to observe and test throughout the project, so adjustments and changes can be made before the project is complete. It’s perfect for both the seasoned project manager looking to improve results and for anyone else who’s had “project manager” added to their job responsibilities.
This project management concept encourages teamwork, collaboration and accountability, which motivates people to commit to the project’s success. The result: customer satisfaction, timely product delivery and empowered project teams.
