The Agile Enterprise - Some ideas on hybrid project management

3/30/2019

 
Dan Stelian Roman led a recent projectmanagement.com webinar on the Agile Enterprise. 
Roman described a project management structure that retains PMBOK project management at the overall project level, but employs agile approaches at the developer level, including a Scrum Master who's a servant leader and enforcing the rules of Scrum in the development team. 
Some attributes that stand out in Roman's envisioned use of agile in hybrid project management: 
  • Projects of shorter duration (6 to 12 months as defined by Roman)
  • Light project initiation work
  • Multiple releases to users during project execution
  • Change without formal signoff
    This requires the use of a Decision Log and a reduced set of steps to agree upon changes, with the development team and Product Owner managing the discussion and Decision Log entry
  • Lessons learned compiled during project execution
  • Short closing phase
Roman recommended The Scrum Guide as a tool for understanding the Scrum framework. 
I found this a somewhat challenging (dense content on slides, lengthy discussion at the start on misconceptions regarding agile), but informative presentation on the ability to blend PMBOK with agile approaches.
