AGILE Project Management

Managing the project in ever changing environments is called Agile Project Management.

Classic Project management is the style of project management in which the project environment is constant and not changing very rapidly.

In agile environment the emphasis is on execution where as in classic PM emphasis is on planning.

Agile PM depends upon following three main factors
  • Uncertainty
  • Unique Expertise
  • speed
Agile PM Environment = [Uncertainty + Unique Expertise] * speed

Uncertainty
is of two types Internal Uncertainty and External Uncertainty.

Internal Uncertainty includes scope, schedule and cost and is more or less controlled by internal management.

External Uncertainty includes change in customer requirements, comparative moves, industry environment, Government policies etc. In short, the things that are not fully controlled by the organization.

More is the Experience (Expertise) of the organization less will be the uncertainty faced by organization and vice versa.Projects and sometime entire businesses are formed around the skills of a single guru/ small group of gurus.

presence of the computation urgency to complete the project faster. As this urgency rises more and more decision are made with less and less of information.Hence speed increases.

Urgency and Uncertainty are positively related.

PITB-LUMS IT Advance Training postponed

Everything happens for good.
Tie Your Camel and the Leave it to Allah.

The training has been postponed due to
  • The lack of students who passed the exam and submitted the fee for the training
  • Two months time span; usually employed (contracted) employees are not given long breaks
  • Lacking of marketing focus on the college and university students to participate in training
  • Bad timing to start the training as the college and university holidays have started well before the advertisements and people have already planned there summers.
  • Now, the training wont start until the next two months as Ramazan would start and it would be difficult to maintain 9-5 timings in Ramazan.
  • So, most probably this training would be canceled.
