Webinar Bridging the Gap - From Traditional to Agile Project Management by Susan Parente
The Agile approach continues to grow in popularity, which is due in part to project success when using it, and the need for project management to be adaptable to changing Agile to be successful in your management of projects? requirements. As the playing field changes for traditional PMs, what do you need to know about
In this webinar, we will first define what is means to be Agile and why and when to use an Agile approach for project management. We will then compare traditional project management to Agile project management, and lastly discuss some Agile methods.
Description: When comparing the Traditional versus Agile Triple Constraint (time, cost, and scope), we see that traditional project management is plan driven, where cost and schedule are estimated based on fixed requirements (fixed project scope). Agile (or adaptive) project management is value driven, where cost and schedule are fixed and features are estimated based on the time and resources allocated for the project iteration or increment.
The decision to choose traditional versus Agile project management is based on whether the requirements (which is used to develop the project scope) are known and fixed, or unknown or variable. If requirements are known or fixed, the plan driven, traditional project management approach will be more effective and efficient to use. If requirements are unknown or variable, the value driven, Agile project management approach will be more effective to use and allow for the uncertainty (risk) of changing requirements.
