My husband swears by Agile PM and I've learned a lot from him. You explained the benefits and pitfalls in such an easy and understandable way! Loved it.

For a new project launch, agile is highly useful as the person in charge will be able to give his/her best from planning to take-off processes.

Thank you for highlighting the pros and drawbacks of Agile project management. It`s good to know that some of the risks may be avoided if you just understand what agile PM is and ensure that you and your team are set up to use it effectively and successfully.

Thank you for underlining the benefits and problems that are associated with Agile approach of project management. The ability to adapt to and even transform changing needs is Agile’s greatest virtue, but also its limitation. With fast development and swift changes requirement agile PM provides a lot of benefits and adaptability for unpredictable and dynamic project environment. Nevertheless, the problems are not passing, such as, the number of regular interactions and possible scale creep. Implementation of Agile PM requires this detailed knowledge of its principles and guiding principles, and the willingness on your team to apply it. In other words, you should understand this framework deeper and be ready for the Agile practices.

I get the whole "lean in" thing, but you naturally have a very quite voice, almost a whisper. Yes it does make me "lean in" and concentrate my focus in order not to miss anything which is good, I also have to repeat several times cause of some back ground noise.

I hear about agile a LOT so it's really good how you broke it down and explained it!

[NadalieBardo]

I am definitely in the 65% who have never heard of agile before. But I love the idea of launching quickly! I have heard of scrum before though. Really love this concept and cannot wait to implement it.

[heathercunningham]

Great explanation of the benefits and pitfalls of Agile methodology. Seems like Agile would be a much better way to manage your project as long as you set it up properly for success.

[milkgaming]

[karinakeith]

[AskAwayHealth]

Thanks for this straightforward explanation - I do get confused about what agile project management means and how it's applied!😀

One of the main reasons why agile methodology came into place, was the need of having project completed successfully (not only in term of budget, scope and time baselines) but also the value being delivered to the customer (customer satisfaction is the main objective!). Agile projects are value driven and are useful when working on projects with lot of complexity and uncertainty about vague requirements and customer needs (which is not an excuse for PMs ), reducing the cost of rework, schedule delays as mentioned in the video. They allow to deliver value quicker and incrementally based on a value prioritized backlog, which may also lead to finish the project earlier than expected, for example when the valued already delivered is already enough and additional work or residual value do not justify additional costs. I would mention also 2 important techniques such as progressive elaboration and rolling wave planning (which were already present in waterfall methodology btw). They are important for planning, executing and controlling iterations or releases. However the lack of support/culture from the management or lack on collaboration with the business and/or the customer may not bring the benefits that we know. Moreover it is important to have a skilled Agile PM (as servant leader) able to educate people when needed, nevertheless a supporting sponsor. cheers ;)
