Agile Project Management
There is no doubt that Agile project management, the adaptive methodology that spread like wildfire around the turn of the millennium, is here to stay.
As organizations make the shift to Agile methods, there remains confusion, skepticism, and rampant misconceptions about Agile. And like any methodology, Agile requires organizations to look at the triple foundation of people, process, and technology. To underplay any of those is to sabotage success.
This white paper will explore Agile from all three perspectives, and will offer guidelines for effective Agile project management. It will expose common myths, offer tips on the cultural shift to Agile, and address concerns about mixed environments where some departments use Agile and others do not. Finally, it will show how Agile is implemented in Planview Enterprise® – with and without adjacent tools such as Atlassian’s CA Agile Central, Version One, and IBM Rational® Team Concert (RTC).
Topics we’ll address are:
- What’s different about Agile? What are its benefits?
- How does Agile work? What do all those terms mean?
- What roles are required for effective Agile projects? And specifically, how does the role of the project manager change?
- How do we address typical management concerns and skepticism about Agile? Are some of those concerns justified?
- Can Agile work for Virtual Teams? • How is Agile implemented in Planview Enterprise? What if some departments don’t use Agile?
- If we plan to use Agile tools, how do we effectively use them with Planview Enterprise? Which tool is best for what activities?
Whether you’re new to Agile or an Agile expert, in addressing these common questions, this white paper will position you for success and show you how to effectively use Planview Enterprise for Agile project management. The Agile movement is undoubtedly expanding, and those who understand its nuances – around people, process, and technology – will be more effective.
