Dan Roman, PMP, PMI-ACP, shares his thoughts on deciding how best to move an IT project forward. Rather than being wed to one methodology he uses a form-follows-function approach because of the realities that must be addressed with a project of any complexity. Topics covered include:
- Agility vs Waterfall vs Hybrid
- The Triple Constraint
- Projects vs Product Development: releases vs incremental sprints
- When agility does and doesn’t work
- Agile Enterprise vs Enterprise Agility
- Risk Management: politics, superheroes, failing forward, and managing an agile team
Dan closes out with a reference to the seminal article by Takeuchi & Nonaka (https://hbr.org/1986/01/the-new-new-product-development-game) on product development with emphasis on the “limitations of agility” portion of the article.
