AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

What is Agile Project Management?

Agile Project Management (APM) is a way of managing projects to deliver customer value via adaptive planning, rapid feedback, continuous improvement and intense human interaction and collaboration.

If you are responsible for product development, project management, program management or simply team results in complex and dynamic environments, APM can help your teams deliver better results such as:

• Rapid business value realization and flexibility to change via iterative and incremental delivery
• Improved customer and associate satisfaction via increased teamwork and collaboration
• Higher productivity via waste reduction and closer customer alignment

How is APM Different?

Traditional approaches to project management rely more on predictive planning (sequential Gantt charts, monumental up-front analysis, etc), sequential delivery and heavier tool usage. Alternatively, APM delivers customer value through planning adaptively as conditions change, delivering results in small “chunks” for rapid feedback, and organizing intense human interaction and collaboration on small, integrated, high performance teams that are committed to continuous improvement. Companies like Toyota, Southwest Airlines, 3M and W.L Gore and Associates have long proven that tremendous business results can be delivered with such approaches within a work culture that values individuals and nurtures their collaboration.
