Summary Of The Book

Agile project management is a methodology suggested in the year 2001 by The Agile Manifesto. This methodology concentrates in anticipated interaction among various stakeholders throughout the process of planning and development of a project. This methodology adopts the style of requirement gathering and analysis, mainly for the Information Technology related projects, in a recursive manner. The primary advantage of Agile over the traditional Waterfall method of project planning is agility and flexibility. In the Waterfall method, all the decisions and planning are made at the beginning of the project, and it is difficult to alter them in the later stages of the project, if needed. But since the planning and execution go hand in hand, the Agile method give the flexibility to make any plan or decision depending on the current state of the project, thereby proving to be a great advantage for the project managers and helping them to minimize risks involved in the project.

Keeping in mind all the benefits of the Agile methodology of project planning, the Project Management Institute (PMI) came up with a certification course, PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP), for project managers as a testimony to their knowledge and competency in implementing the Agile principles.
