Course Outline

Chapter 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO AGILE PRACTICE GUIDE

The Project Management Institute and Agile Alliance® chartered this practice guide to create a greater understanding of agile approaches in their communities. The vision for this practice guide is to equip project teams with tools, situational guidelines, and an understanding of the available agile techniques and approaches to enable better results.

Chapter 2: AN INTRODUCTION TO AGILE

Until recently, Agile was seen as a set of management practices relevant to software development. That’s because Agile’s initial advocates were software developers and its foundational document was the Manifesto for Software Development of 2001. Fifteen years later in 2016, following recognition by Harvard Business Review, McKinsey & Company and the 2015 Learning Consortium Project, Agile is now spreading rapidly to all parts and all types of organizations.

Chapter 3: LIFE CYCLE SELECTION

Now we go to the third chapter: Life Cycle Selection. Projects come in many shapes and there are a variety of ways to undertake them. Project teams need awareness of the characteristics and options available to select the approach most likely to be successful for the situation.

Chapter 4: IMPLEMENTING AGILE: CREATING AN AGILE

Implementing Agile is mentioned in both chapter 4 and chapter 5. Chapter 4 will discuss about creating an Agile environment and chapter 5 will discuss about delivering in an Agile environment.

Chapter 5: IMPLEMENTING AGILE: DELIVERING IN AN AGILE

As mentioned in the previous chapter. Implementing Agile has two separated parts: Creating an Agile environment and Delivering in an Agile environment. In the previous chapter, we discussed how to create an Agile environment. Now, we talk about how to deliver in an Agile environment.

Chapter 6: ORGANIZATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR PROJECT AGILITY

Every project exists in an organizational context. Cultures, structures, and policies can influence both the direction and the outcome of any project. These dynamics can challenge project leaders.
