Agile project management of project management

In the previous article, we shared 《 What abilities should the technical manager have 》 Many abilities are mentioned , Having ability does not necessarily mean that you need to undertake responsive job responsibilities in your work , But only on the basis of these abilities can we work well and be comfortable in team management , The accumulation of knowledge and experience can help improve personal cognition , So as to improve their thinking in looking at problems and solving problems

Today we mainly share agile project management , Introduce the core values of agile 、 The main agile management framework , Kanban, etc , Practice and application in actual projects

Why is agility popular

The current situation and difficulties

Why is agile so popular in the Internet, traditional industries and even enterprise management , No agile, no project , No agile, no Internet …; To sum up, there are mainly a few points ：

• The product life cycle is shortened dramatically , Need to launch new products quickly
• Unable to quickly respond to changes in demand
• The work is opaque
• Work transmission distortion
• Start work when you are not clear about it , Too much rework
• Problems are not found until later in the project , The cost of modification is too high
• Unable to achieve continuous improvement
• Team morale is not high , Cohesion is not strong , Don't stick together
• … …
  therefore , It is really necessary to implement agile ideas and agile methods in various industries ！！

Why promote agile

As shown in the figure above ： All industries are facing unprecedented fierce competition , In addition, the government also issued preferential policies in different industries , Ecological cooperation delivery accelerates ; It is bound to require enterprises to have the ability to quickly create explosive products in the industry 、 The ability to land quickly ; Therefore, it is particularly important to have what kind of organizational team and team culture , With agile development , Help enterprises explore quickly 、 Quick adjustment 、 Quickly cooperate to find the way forward 、 Adjust the strategic layout 、 Rapid internal and external coordinated development .

What is agility

Concept definition

agile development (Agile Development) With the evolution of users' needs as the core ( Human centered ), Use iterations 、 Step by step approach to software development .

In Agile Development , Software projects are divided into several subprojects at the beginning of construction , The results of each subproject have been tested , Have visibility 、 Features that can be integrated and run . In other words , It is to divide a large project into multiple interconnected projects , But small projects that can also run independently , And do it separately , In the process, the software is always available

Characteristics of traditional project management and agile project management

In order to compare the difference between agile project management and traditional project management , I found the following two pictures for comparison

Icon : Differences in organizational structure

Icon : The difference in the way of working
Through the above two pictures , You can judge from two aspects: organizational form and working method , Which is the model of agile project management ？

From the above two illustrations of organization and working mode, we can clearly see , In the form of organization, the traditional project management is mainly waterfall , Different functions carry out assembly line operation , Agile advocates putting people with different functions together , Form a unified project team ; Work form , Agile and fastidious MVP, Do the most important and valuable work first , Part of the output can continuously communicate with customers and constantly correct deviations , The traditional project advocates a piece by piece , Do one thing at a time , Show all items until the end ;

Some main frameworks and methods of agile project management

As shown in the figure above , Agile project management has many methods and frameworks , I won't go into details here .

The number of notes to contact most Scrum+Kanban and SaFe 了 , And also in the company to promote Scrum Have insisted fast 5 A year , I also hope to have friends with the same practice to communicate ( Can pay attention to “ Learn open source together ” official account ); Or leave a message under the article , We learn and grow together .
