Overview

  • One of the most revolutionary project management approaches to ever grace the surface of the project management world, Agile management or Agile project management took the field of software development nearly by a storm. In the yesteryears, software development was rampage with traditional project methodologies that restricted a great deal of flexibility, which was needed by these projects and their functioning. Changes were kept at bay and weren’t incorporated when the situation demanded of it and risks were never factored. The way these traditional methods flowed didn’t allow a project manager to conduct unit testing for entire sections of the work and have the implementations based on the results of these tests. There was a kind of rigidity. The number of failed projects was higher and there was a desperate need to get out of that vicious circle.

Agile and Scrum best practices have a very unique ring to it and can be used in many different industries as well: they aren’t restricted to software development alone. The methodologies provide a very flexible and open framework to accommodate projects that are very complex in nature, due to various components including the triple constraints. This ability to expand over different situations and scenarios is the reason why Agile and Scrum are ever so popular and their implementations are growing rapidly.

There are many practitioners who take up this course in order to solve legacy issues persisting in their organizations and have never failed in their undertakings, subjected to correct use of the framework and methodologies.

Description

Agile is carefully put straight by 12 principles that guide and dictate the way Agile project management is to be put to use to achieve growth and successful iteration of the different Agile phases. These principles are as follows:

  1. Customer Satisfaction – The highest priority for Agile projects is customer satisfaction and fulfillment of customer needs and demands. This should be achieved through the continuous and on-time delivery of high-end products or services.
  1. Changing Requirements – Project requirements change and in order to accommodate these ad hoc changes we should consider the iterative process provided by Agile.
  1. Frequent Delivery – Delivery of software (or products/services) should be frequent with greater preference given to timescales that span a shorter period of time.
  1. A measure of Progress – An Agile project output should be working software; working as per the objective it’s slated to achieve.
  1. Sustainable Development – Agile encourage work in short productive burst rather than a prolonged winding road.
  1. Close Co-operation – The management and the executives, specialist need to work cordially to make an impact on the project on a daily basis.
  1. Motivated Individuals – Provide motivated individuals the environment they need to thrive and make the project their own for better, efficient, and benefitting results.
  1. Face-to-face Communication – Face-to-face communication is thoroughly encouraged by Agile project management as it is proved to be the most effective way of conveying important information.
  1. Technical Excellence – Along with continuous delivery, continuous technical excellence and better, improving designs promotes agility within the project.

Scrum is part of the Agile Framework and is aimed at helping complex projects see the light of day. The entire process of Scrum can be summed up using the steps mentioned below:

  1. A product owner or project manager heads a project to yield a particular result. It is them who create a prioritized list called a “product backlog” that enlists all the tasks completed, to be done, and requests for immediate or certain level of activity
  2. Team collaboration is key in the Scrum framework and team members are involved in the planning of the tasks and activities to be undertaken. During the planning of the sprint, the team along with their project manager takes the top-most chunk of tasks that are manageable from the list. This chunk is now called the “sprint backlog”.
  3. The team along with project manager decided the course of action on these tasks and activities, and the plan is born
  4. The team allocates a time period to this sprint backlog and the sprint kicks off (usually two to four weeks); heading towards the completion of work.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
