House Rule!
• This presentation is all about Agile Project Management and Scrum• It is presenting an option and an opinion• You do not need to take this option or agree with the opinion• ...but you need to do something...and you need to do it now!
#agilekrcwebinar
Why now? Why is so important?
Suddenly, time is of the essence
Organisations want fast ‘time to market’
We increasingly live an ‘on demand’ lifestyle
The Internet has changed things forever
But most of our working practices where established a long time ago
We have to change the way we work and we need to do it now!
#agilekrcwebinar
Where are we now?
• APMG PRINCE2• PMI PMP• PMBOK• IPMP• APM
• ...but there is a new kid on the block – agile!• It is no longer niche• New qualifications:
– PMI-ACP (2012)– APMG ‘Agile Project Management’ (AgilePM) (2010)
#agilekrcwebinar
What is Agile?
What is Agile?• Very broad term• Surrounded with hype• Poorly understood• Poorly defined
Scrum is the most popular agile approach
It’s 95% BAU (Business as Usual) – it’s 95% Software
That is changing – but there are growing pains
Main problem is the idea that we do not need Project Managers anymore!
#agilekrcwebinar
Are you Agile?
• Perhaps ignore the Agile Manifesto!
• Do people have autonomy?
• Will people collaborate?
• Will communication be good?
• Is there flexibility with the scope?
• Can you build iteratively and incrementally?
• Do you have a productive environment?
• Is the agile philosophy accepted?
...if the prevailing feeling is ‘yes’...then you can be agile!
#agilekrcwebinar
What is Scrum?
• Scrum is the most popular agile approach
• Many people think Scrum IS Agile
• ... and Agile IS Scrum!
• This is not true
• There are other approaches:– DSDM, Lean, Kanban, XP
• Scrum only addresses ‘Product Delivery’
• However, most people in agile are only addressing Product Delivery
• However, organisations cannot be limited by this
• There is a need to handle complexity
• They need to use Agile to manage Projects as well
• ...and Scrum doesn't manage projects

Are we now on different planets?Sort of – but this doesn't necessarily mean it is a problem!
Many people are already doing this and having successes
We don't have to change everything
In fact we can get the best of both worlds
Chocolate bars, Submarines, Ticket Machines, Advertising Campaigns....
...these organisations aren’t building Apps, or updating a Service.
Scrum works well at what it is supposed to do
...and the opposite is true.
It’s a one trick pony!
You cannot manage a project with Scrum
#agilekrcwebinar
Can we get the best of both worlds?
• ...by combining traditional thinking and agile thinking?• ...or are we mixing oil and water?• Do opposites attract?• Can we find synergies?
• This is the tricky bit and the interesting bit!• Best of both worlds?• ...or the worst of both worlds?• Go carefully here...• ... and you could be on to a winner
#agilekrcwebinar
What is Agile Project Management (AgilePM)?
Based on DSDM – which has been around since 1995!
Covers the up front work missing from Scrum
Provides the Governance and PM role missing from Scrum
Creates the ability to scale up Scrum
Dovetails nicely with established approaches such as PRINCE2
