Getting started

Agile implementation is one of the hot topics in Project Management world, if not the hottest. So what is the deal with it... In short and sweet terms, Agile PM means TEAM WORK and COLLABORATION. The most important aspect of any project utilizing Agile methodology is the final deliverable, i.e Software or the Product. and one really can't put enough emphasis on these keywords.

This is not to say that traditional Waterfall development method doesn't put the final deliverable ahead of all other things. Intention of any project, large or small is always to successfully meet the objective. It's just that, due to the way in which things are being done in traditional waterfall model, things get slowed down at certain stage of the game, resources get distracted and that leaves very little time to recover gracefully. That's the reason a significant percentage of the projects fail to meet it's objectives causing waste of a lot of money and time...


Sounds familiar huh, if you have witnessed something like this in your profession, you probably are wondering about being Agile !
