Did you know the following facts about Agile ?

- 82% of those doing Agile were beyond the pilot stage
- and Agile teams are producing higher quality, have greater productivity & enjoy greater stakeholder satisfaction
It’s true – surveys have reported these %’s….and most of the people I talk with are surprised at how high the numbers are.
Many more organizations are leveraging Agile and becoming more Agile over time than we thought….and now that PMI & Agile Alliance have joined forces – these numbers will most likely grow even higher.
I’d love your feedback on my article. Please take a minute to share your thoughts below — all input is welcome
Someone asked me “Why would you do this?”
Why not? I’ve personally used Agile with PMBok many times to improve the project in many ways. One way is in Estimating Budget/Time/Resources by doing both WBS with Solution BackLog work. It gave much better estimates that the “team” bought-in on as well. I call it “WBS-agile style”.
You can find the latest on PMI Agile Community of Practice, by loggin in to PMI and searching on “PMI Agile Community of Practice” and join (it’s free). You’ll find many valuable sources of information, including the Business Plan for the Agile PMI Forum. It contains a wealth of information about the proliferation of agile project management practices as well.
