Agile Project Management

 

Businesses all over proceed to wrestle implementing the PMBOK or PRINCE as a complete or parts of them claiming that they are too complicated, too involved and take from the time it takes to produce the project deliverables. Adaptive Project Framework (APF) involves the rescue by adapting to the ever changing business environments.

 

 

I read and re-read "Efficient Project Administration - Traditional, Adaptive, Excessive" by Robert K. Wysocki each time I get a chance. It is a wonderful book that I always carry with me. This book dedicates a number of chapters to APF.

 

 

APF is an iterative and adaptive (and I add agile) approach designed to deliver most business value to clients within the limits of their time and value constraints the place the always variable scope is adjusted at every iteration. The shopper decides what constitutes maximum enterprise worth and, at the end of every iteration, the consumer has an opportunity to change the direction of the project based mostly on what was learned from all previous iterations due to this fact, embracing and managing change, not avoiding it.

 

 

Only 5 phases define APF:

 

 

• Version Scope

 

- Develop the Conditions Of Satisfaction (COS) to define what is needed and what will be finished to satisfy that want

 

- Develop the Project Overview Statement (POS) which summarizes the problem/opportunity, what shall be finished and the way, the business value, and risks, assumptions and obstacles to success

 

- Prioritize functional necessities; this list may change but at the moment displays the very best data available

 

- Develop mid-level Work Breakdown Construction showing goal, major functions, and sub-capabilities

 

- Prioritize scope triangle (consisting of time, cost, resources, scope, and quality, customer satisfaction was neglected)

 

• Cycle Plan (iterative)

 

- Extract from the WBS these activities that define the functionality to be in-built this cycle

 

- Decompose the extracted WBS down to the task level

 

- Establish the dependencies among these tasks

 

- Partition the tasks into significant teams and assign teams to every group

 

- Each crew develops a micro-level schedule with resource allocations for the completion of their tasks within the established cycle timeline and funds constraints

 

• Cycle Build (iterative)

 

- Conduct detailed planning for producing the functionality assigned to this cycle

 

- Begin cycle work

 

- Monitor and adjust cycle build

 

- This cycle ends when its time has expired. Any functionality not accomplished during this cycle is reconsidered as part of the functionality within the subsequent cycle

 

- Create a Scope Bank to record all change requests and concepts for improvements

 

- Create an Points Log to record all problems and track the standing of their resolution

 

• Consumer Checklevel (iterative)

 

- Consumer and project workforce carry out a quality assessment of the functionality produced in the just accomplished cycle towards the general goal of most enterprise worth, and adjustments are made to the high-level plan and next cycle work if needed

 

- The sequence Cycle Plan / Cycle Build / Shopper Checkpoint is repeated till the time and cost budgets for this model have been expended

 

• Post-Version Overview

 

- Decide if the anticipated enterprise consequence was realized

 

- Decide what was discovered that can be used to improve the solution

 

- Determine what was learned that can be utilized to improve the effectiveness of APF

 

 

A very simple framework that, as the book creator says, is client-centered, client-driven, shows incremental outcomes early and sometimes, utilizes continuous questioning and introspection, implement adjustments higher and progressively, and strips out all non-worth-added work. Everything the business has been looking for!
