Agile Project Management


Agile Project Management• Acceptance of unpredictability

• Adjustment to reality

• Minimal bureaucracy; follows principles

• Activity driven

• Design & Plan as needed

• Iterative and incremental

• Flat, lean structure

• Small, empowered teams

• Just enough focus

• Quick to respond to change


Servant Leadership

Team work & Collaboration

Open to Change / Acceptance

Adaptive Planning

Continues Improvement

Is Agile Risky? Only if you don’t change…


• Managing projects based on Agile principles reduces risk:

- Start with what you know; Do NOT spend more time planning what you

do NOT know

- Put emphasis on working products over comprehensive documentation

- Value Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

- Respond to change instead of rigidly following a plan

Is Agile Risky? Only if you don’t change…


Agile and Risk Management training

programs;

■ Applicable to all organization types &

sizes

■ Do NOT require technical knowledge &

skills to participate

■ When Agile practices are applied to Risk

Management processes, it provides long-

term benefits for organizations

Can you blend Agile and Risk Management?


Benefits of Educated Project Teams

• More cost effective

• Less turn over

• Higher success rate

• Team manages Risk more efficiently by applying

Agile principles


TOGAF & Information Security

How to combine Agile, Risk, TOGAF & Information Security

They are inseparable:

• Agile teaches how to create a value within each delivery

• TOGAF teaches how to design, plan, implement and govern

• Risk teaches how to identify and manage unknowns

• Information Security teaches how to make it secure

Not everyone needs certification; Resources should be specialized on

certain areas, but should be aware of the others!


Benefits

• Agile training addresses the prime needs of the organization to:

➢ Increase success of delivery

➢Adapt more quickly to business changes

Business challenges, complex impediments and underlying issues that

prevent Customer from delivering innovative, quality products a.k.a.

PAIN POINTS, such as:

■ Projects always extend beyond delivery dates

■ Adding resources is a usual practice

■ Customer complaints increase with time

■ No-one is really sure which features will be used

■ Team constantly chase mysterious requirements

■ “Change Management” becomes the key focus

Golden Rules – PAIN POINTS


Interact with the key decision makers and ask:

○ What is their project success rate?

○ What type of challenges they are having? Behind schedule, over budget, …

○ What is the resource turn over rate?

○ Does the Project Managers actually have decision making authority?

○ Are there policies and rules requiring too many permissions?

Golden Rules


■ Integrate these trainings with consulting engagement;

● Team and project-level Agile adoption is instrumental to improving

delivery performance

● Agile implementation and coaching strategy should stretch across the

organization

● Providing coaching ensures support, mentorship and common

understanding

■ Initiate further training based on their need
