M01 - An overview of agile 2/24 | 14/230

PRINCE2 and PRINCE2 Agile are only suitable for projects Agile can be used on projects and for ongoing ‘Business as Usual’ (BAU) work (embedding Agile culture in the organization)

An overview of agileProject or BAU

Difficult / change is natural Routine / repetableA degree of uncertainty A degree of certainty

The term ‘agile’ is viewed in many different ways Philisophy, way of working, approach etc.

Well-known behaviours, concepts and techniques characterising agile The Agile Manifesto comes closest to a single definition –it was created as an alternative to ‘waterfall’ processes Agile addressed the new demands placed on the delivery of software (yet it is not only used in IT domain)

An overview of agileWgat is agile?


The Agile ManifestoAn overview of agile

“We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it”Through this work we have come to value

Agile(empirical/adaptive process control model)

Traditional (defined/deterministic process control model)

People and Interactions over Processes and ToolsWorking Software over Comprehensive Documentation

Customer Collaboration over Contract NegotiationResponding to Change over Following a Plan

While there is value in the items on the right; we value the items on the left more.(but Agile is not just about delivering software, it applies to all types of project)www.agilemanifesto.orgFigure 2.1M01 - An overview of agile 6/24 | 18/230

Situation Dictates The Type Of Process An overview of agile

Examples:Assembling, construction, transporting, accountingExamples:Sales, marketing, painting, music, creative writing

Empirical Predictive/Deterministic

• Frequent inspection and adaptation occurs as work proceeds • Processes are accepted as imperfectly defined • Outputs are often unpredictable and unrepeatable

• Work and outcomes are understood before execution • Given a well-defined set of inputs, the same outputs are generated every time • Follow the pre-determined steps to get known results

MoV

ITIL Can be used as a method for delivering IT projects having requirements regarding reporting, compliance, control and risk management ITIL aligned to Agile principles together with PRINCE2 Agile can be used as a basis for DevOps

Integrates with PMOs by dedicated roles strictly responsible for project support and project assurance

Support project monitoring and control at the portfolio level with KPI and EWIs

Classic PRINCE2 uses risk management process defined in M_o_R allowing PRINCE2 to be easily integrated within enterprise risk management

Offers predictable products delivery within programme By natura of programme they are incremental and can be easily combined with PRINCE2 Agile

Provides framework for producing products acting as options for value improvement proposals framework For PRINCE2 Agile, MoV offers set of techniqes and tools
