What you must know about Agile Projects

 

In this changing business environment, Executives and Professionals are struggling to find answers to some basic questions about Agile Project :-

1. What is an Agile project?

2. Why do you need an Agile Projects?

3. Who can Manage an Agile Project?

4. Where does this concept come from?

5. When do you need Agile Project?

6. How to execute an Agile Project?

The above questions are applicable for any project and we must know these for any product or project from its ideation to retire. Let’s try answering some of them.

Agile Project can be any type of project where requirement is not very clear and complexity can be defined at a high level at the start of the project. People may argue that “All of my projects fall under the same category”. I would reply “Very good. Hire Me”.

To understand the concept of complexity and requirements, an Agile Practitioner must know some basic information about the Organization environment. It is preferred to have an Agile Certified Practitioner or the person who knows the concepts, methods, approaches and basic information about Agile tools can only help you Manage an Agile Project. If you want early value that means you need to adopt Agile Approach. When “you foresee changes in business environment”, “competitors strategy is not visible at all” and probably “the project area is not completely dependent on regulatory and compliance requirements”, then thi is the right time.

To execute an Agile project, the Organization should be ready to adopt changes, involve and collaborate with the execution team, trust the product than the explanation, believe in the emotional intelligence of the team during execution and ready to accept the statement “making mistakes is not uncommon”.

The concept is not new and it has been implemented in almost all Industries and Agile Certified Practitioner Certificate is from PMI (Project Management Institute).
