Agile Project Management lets you produce minor deliveries i.e shippable functionality in an efficient and competent way in every iteration. It’s an ideal choice for teams who are working in product development, software design, corporate analysis and related domains.

Agile, Lean, JIT is the terms which are IN nowadays for so many reasons, one of the most important is to keep the development/production cost low while keeping the focus on the Stakeholder needs which is ever changing because of the dynamic business environment.

The objective of Adaptive management is to continuously improve systematically. The stakeholders play a bigger role here than they do in the Predictive environment.

Two Important Principles are;

  1. Iterative decision-making or making choices based on learning from the outcomes of decisions previously taken.
  2. Strategic flexibility or avoidance of irreversible decisions Some Important

This requires a collaborative working environment so that teams can deliver effectively while welcoming a change. Every delivery edges towards a Product Skelton but based on the feedback received in Sprint Review after every Sprint.

  • Product Backlog: A pool of user stories owned, managed and prioritized by the Product Owner.
  • Release Planning: What would be released in which sprint
  • Timebox: Every action in an agile environment is time-boxed. 15 Minutes of Daily Standups, 2 hours of Retrospective, 2 hours of the demo, and 4 hours of Sprint Planning.
  • Velocity: number of user stories that can be delivered in any sprint. this is achieved over the period of time with the release of user stories in different Sprints
