Agile-The Way Forward In Project Management

iCert Global Agile and Scrum 0 2019-10-16 1991

What is Traditional Project Management?

Traditional project management is an established methodology, also identified as waterfall,

which follows a fixed sequence: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. The

project development runs in a sequential cycle.

The Traditional project management imposes major constraints in the form of time cost and

scope, and the requirements are fixed within these constraints also called as the Iron Triangle.

There is zero tolerance for any cost overrun, scope creep or timeline issues as it will directly

impact the bottom line. The requirement from the customer is never clear at the start and

evolves as the project progresses and hence freezing the scope is simply unmanageable. It is

this rigidity with the iron triangle with no room to accommodate which made project managers

and stakeholders scramble to find something more flexible.

Enter Agile.

What is Agile Project Management?

Agile methodology follows an iterative process which incorporates the change requested by

customer through feedback and includes the change through continuous releases with every

iteration.

Agile management relies heavily on teamwork, customer collaboration, time-boxing tasks and

allows greater flexibility.

The customer in traditional methodology is associated at the start and closure, but in Agile

management customer works closely during development as changes are evolving and hence

the effort is collaborative.

Adaptive planning is the hallmark of Agile that made it quite popular and rose to prominence.

The basic concept behind Agile software development is to divide the project into sprints of

shorter span to exercise control over planning and prioritization. If there is a change to be

made, Agile facilitates by making way and creating room, and that’s how Agile is flexible as

against the rigid stance in traditional management.

The book, Agile Project Management (APM) by Jim High smith, was one of the first attempts to

broaden Agile techniques into a cohesive whole.

Agile Project Management (APM):

• Introduced phases for Agile projects that Aligned with the PMP phases applied by the

Project Management Institute.

• also modified the traditional “Iron Triangle” to emphasize Value and Quality, and

created the “Agile Triangle.”

PMI and Agile

PMI, the world’s leading project management institute for project management professional,

has introduced Agile in their PMBOK – 6th edition. Incidentally, PMBOK-version 6 is the

reference material for their flagship Project Management Certification (PMP) course. PMP is

globally acclaimed and universally recognized, and benchmark certification in project

management.

The PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition and Agile Practice Guide were created to complement each

other. Why?

Because more and more stakeholders asked for Agile practices to be included alongside

traditional approaches. The PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition and Agile Practice Guide form a

formidable duo that enable and empower project delivery professionals to use the wide array

of approaches from predictive (waterfall) to iterative (agile).

What makes Agile the way forward in Project Management?

It’s a fallacy that Agile works well for every project development. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’.

Agile is cut out for projects based on certain criteria. These are some of the driving factors for

Software Professionals to prefer Agile methodology.

Flexibility:

The most compelling factor. Every project is prone to change. In a traditional management, any

change directly translates to cost. Cost overrun will bleed the project as the bill climbs in figure.

Agile’s way of work is through with it sprints – which are work conducted in shorter span which

makes it flexible in include last minute changes of customer.

Project Requirements:

Waterfall works well when the requirements are well defined. If the requirements are unclear

or expected to change then Agile is the way forward.

Technology:

Waterfall follows the worn out path clearly defining the tools and technology to be followed.

Agile’ flexibility offers space to experiment with new technology and chart out fresh course of

action. Agile creates an optimal project control method with a lighter weight.

Risks and threats:

Waterfall is too tight. Risk identification and Risk mitigation can be daunting and a clear threat

to push the project off the rails. The sprints in Agile practice opens up the way much earlier to

identify the risks earlier for effective risk management and control. Agile is more effective when

it comes to detection of issues and defects.

Resources:

Agile’s sprints are spread out in smaller teams – usually experienced professionals. So when the

availability of resources is limited Agile is your best option. Agile brings in minimization of

resources which reduces unexpected waste.

Transparency:

In Waterfall, the customer’ involvement is at the start and end, while Agile is very collaborative

through regular customer feedback. The customer is in the loop always and hence there is

complete transparency of the project development.

Turnaround:

The deployment rate of solutions is quite rapid when it comes to agile in project management.

It builds up faster turnaround times. Agile increases the focus on specific customer needs and

requirements and helps in fulfilling it within a specific period of time.

The final analysis is in favor of Agile

It’s not possible to freeze requirements. Changes will evolve. Customer delight is the ultimate

goal, which means keeping cost under control without compromising on scope and schedule.

To maximize ROI, the productivity needs to be high, quality higher, cost efficient, more business

value and quicker time to market.

Moreover, when there is a paradigm shift in thought process and technology which calls for

greater clarity, larger accountability and handling projects of complexity, Agile is hailed as the

chosen one to face the challenges in the days to come.

Test Your PMP® Exam Preparation with these 30 PMP® (Project Management Professional) Exam Prep Practice Questions

iCert Global Project Management 0 2019-09-27 4069

PMP® certification is the most prestigious and premier certification in Project Management that is widely acclaimed and globally renowned. Let’s face it – the PMP exam is the perhaps the toughest to pass in the first attempt and hence calls for a great commitment and rigorous preparation through study and practice tests.

The preparatory questions presented below can be attempted by project management professionals, aspirants including those who are already PMP certified.

1. Aspiring Professionals who plan to take up the PMP® Exam

This test of Project Management skills in a 30-question format will serve as a prelude to the PMP exam you plan to take up in the immediate future. It’s a test of your proficiency with project management concepts, methodologies and practices. Make an attempt to find out how you fare in the first try and figure out your strength and shortcomings. This will prove to be a stepping stone for the success to come in becoming PMP certified.

2. Professionals who wish to sign-up for PMP® Examination

Candidates considering to crack the PMP exam based on 6th edition will find the preparatory questions listed below as a curtain raiser as the questions are framed more in the lines of the actual PMP Exam. The structure and severity of questions are very similar to the final PMP exam conducted by PMI. Treat these 30 questions as a preview to the 200-exam PMP exam that will help you to identify your core strength and weakness with Project Management. Forewarned is forearmed. So when you know what’s that lacking and wanting will help you prepare the gap analysis of your project management skills to both sign-up and sit for the PMP exam.

3. Professionals who are already PMP® Certified

Chances are that you might have appeared for the PMP Exam based on the PMBOK® Guide - Fifth Edition, or earlier and hence might be a bit rusty. This test will help you to assess your standing with regard to the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition. You can brush up your skills and sharpen the saw by upgrading yourself with the latest project management practice as prescribed in the PMP training. Professionals armed with a PMP certification can treat this questionnaire as a revision and the results will reflect your competency in being conversant with the current trends and practices in Project Management.
