Need to Adopt Agile Project Management?
The Agile method of project management has gained widespread popularity due to its adaptability, making it an ideal methodology where projects have loose briefs, are subject to frequent change or where there are significant unknowns at the outset. Our two-day experiential workshop presents the cores methodologies and tools of Agile using a project example simulation, empowering participants to take Agile directly back to their workplace.
About our Agile Project Management Training Workshops
In this video, Chris Baker, founder and principal business advisor at Kallista Consulting, talks about how our Agile Project Management Training can your project management team manage projects that are subject to ongoing change, where the briefs are loosely defined, or where there are a lot of unknowns at the outset.
Why Agile Project Management is so Popular
Flexibility
Agile management methods make it easy to remain aligned with key stakeholders by adopting a methodology that allows the project team to adapt to new information and evolving client needs on a cyclical basis. This continuous review and connection to the stakeholders leads to more successful and relevant outcomes.
Responsiveness
Agile project management promotes rapid iterations and frequent reassessments, enabling teams to respond quickly to changes and challenges, unlike traditional methods that may take longer to pivot due to hierarchical decision-making processes.
Customer and Stakeholder Engagement
Traditional methods might limit stakeholder involvement primarily to initial requirements gathering and final delivery. Agile encourages continuous interaction with stakeholders throughout the project, ensuring that the final product more closely aligns with the customer’s desires and expectations, thereby increasing satisfaction and reducing the need for later adjustments.
