0:07 hey everyone my name is ishaan and i welcome you all
0:09 to this session in this session we
0:11 will be talking about agile project management
0:14 and several other things related to it before we begin let's have
0:17 a look at all the topics we will be covering today first we will
0:21 see the basics of agile project management then we will check the relevance
0:25 and principles of agile project management we will then see necessary steps
0:29 to implement agile methodology along
0:31 with that we shall also see different frameworks
0:34 involved in the process and finally we shall see some companies that use
0:38 agile project management so without any further ado let's get started with what
0:42 is agile project management agile project management as the name suggests is
0:46 a flexible approach to building a project
0:48 in agile project management the project
0:50 is broken down into several stages of sprints agile does not work
0:54 on the principle of delivering the final product at the end
0:57 of the project it works on delivering sections of a project or mini projects
1:02 the process of project management in the case of agile is agile based
1:05 so there won't be any central control of project manager as it was there
1:09 in the traditional way of working before we move forward let's have
1:12 a look at the agile development
1:13 cycle agile methodologies consist of several small
1:17 cycles or sprints at the end of each stage we get a mini
1:20 project there's a product backlog that explains
1:23 new features changes in the existing
1:25 features and several other improvements in the project then we have a sprint
1:29 backlog which has a list of tasks that are to be completed
1:33 during each sprint the sprint consists
1:35 of planning designing execution testing and deployment
1:39 stages and at the end of each sprint a mini project is delivered
1:43 with every sprint new features are added to the product which plays
1:46 a significant role in the overall project growth after all the sprints and early
1:51 validation in the development the final
1:53 deliverable has a fewer chances of failure
1:56 let's now have a look at some reasons why industries have started
1:59 moving towards agile project management the first reason is high product quality
2:03 when we talk about higher product quality we refer to the build
2:06 of the product as per stakeholders
2:08 demands testing is performed at short intervals
2:10 of time wherever needed to ensure high
2:13 quality of the product then another reason
2:15 is customer satisfaction whatever is done in the project is known
2:18 by the customer the deliveries don't take longer durations as they used to take
2:22 in the case of traditional ways the changes may be provided by the customer
2:26 in the execution phase of the project third reason is reduced risk
2:30 since the project is divided into sprints so if the risk affects
2:34 one sprint it doesn't mean whole of the project will be at risk
2:37 the process of risk analysis continues to take place with all the other
2:41 processes another significant reason for agile
2:44 project management is better and faster return
2:47 on investment the project is now developed in several sprints and each
2:51 print has its own version therefore the project becomes market ready after
2:55 a few sprints only since the projects can now be released with ease
2:59 and in shorter duration this helps the organization to stay ahead in competition
3:03 with respect to other organizations which
3:06 have still not moved to agile methodology
3:08 now we shall check the principles of agile project management there are 10
3:12 principles for successful agile project management
3:15 the first principle is the satisfaction
3:17 of the customer by delivering the project fast and with least number of errors
3:21 the next principle refers to decreasing the amount of time between the phase
3:26 of planning and delivery the third principle states that the team of managers
3:30 and developers work together and increase
3:33 the productivity of their work the next
3:35 principle states that the changes requested by the stakeholders can be taken
3:39 into consideration and worked upon during
3:41 the development phase as well the fifth
3:43 principle pays attention to the factor of coordination among the team members
3:47 then the sixth principle refers to the process of monitoring and tracking
3:51 the progress of the project at the end of each sprint and making amendments
3:55 wherever needed moving on the next principle states that there must be
4:00 a feeling of trust and support towards
4:02 the team to complete the project's objectives
4:04 the next principle emphasizes on face-to-face
4:07 conversations with the development team the face-to-face
4:10 conversation helps in both solving problems
4:12 and easy knowledge sharing then the 9
4:15 principle emphasizes on finding solutions and maximizing the amount of work done
4:19 with simplicity this ensures timely completion of tasks by all the team members
4:24 the last principle states that scrum tools like monday.com or zoho sprints must
4:30 be used to simplify the complicated codes which further helps in saving time
4:35 we shall now see the steps in agile project management the goal
4:38 of agile methodology is to produce
4:40 shorter development life cycles and more frequent
4:43 product releases than traditional waterfall project
4:46 management so we will now check six
4:48 steps in agile project methodology the first step in the process is project
4:52 planning project planning includes feasibility study
4:56 development of scope breaking the project
4:58 into executable tasks or sprints and then estimating the amount of time needed
5:02 to complete those sprints the second step is the step of roadmap creation
5:06 a roadmap is a plan of action that shows how a project shall
5:10 evolve over time a list of all the features that the final
5:13 product should have is created and the steps to achieve those features are
5:16 taken the next important step is release planning since we are doing
5:21 the project keeping in mind the agile
5:22 project methodology the project will complete
5:25 in sprints that means there will be the release of features at the end
5:29 of each cycle and unlike the traditional waterfall model the development cycles
5:33 will be smaller the fourth step in agile project management is sprint planning
5:38 the sprints are made keeping in mind what all is to be accomplished
5:42 in that particular step at the beginning of each sprint the goal
5:45 of that sprint is decided and steps to achieve that goal are taken
5:49 the next step in the process emphasizes on daily meetings there are
5:53 short meetings every day to discuss if the team was able to finish
5:57 the task for each sprint and check if there are any amendments
6:01 that are required each team member talks about what they achieved in the last
6:05 print and what are they going to work on in the next print
6:08 the last step is the step of sprint review and retrospective there are
6:12 two meetings after each sprint first meeting is for the sprint review
6:16 this meeting is with the stakeholders
6:18 to show them the finished product this helps
6:21 both sides to build a relationship and discuss if there are any
6:24 issues in the end product the second meeting is for having a sprint
6:27 retrospective this meeting involves the stakeholders
6:31 to discuss what went well and what
6:33 went wrong during the sprint sprint retrospective takes place after the sprint
6:37 review and before the next print planning now when we know the steps
6:41 needed for agile project methodology we
6:43 must understand some agile project management frameworks
6:46 there are several frameworks available today here we will be discussing some
6:51 of the most popular frameworks the first framework we will discuss is the kanban
6:55 framework kanban framework is a well-known
6:58 framework for implementing agile software development
7:01 in the case of kanban framework work items are represented on the kanman
7:05 board which helps all the team members to see the state
7:08 of every piece of work at any time kanban board not only helps
7:12 in visualizing the work but also optimizing the workflow among the team
7:17 the next framework we will discuss today
7:19 is the scrum framework scrum framework is
7:22 a popular framework for managing complex knowledge work like in the field
7:26 of research and advanced technologies scrum
7:29 is a simple framework that helps team
7:31 work together and learn through their experiences
7:34 gained while working on a problem
7:36 the third framework we will see today is the hybrid framework the hybrid
7:40 framework is a combination of agile
7:42 methodology and non-agile methodology in the case
7:46 of a hybrid framework planning is done using the traditional way of project
7:50 management while the execution and delivery
7:52 is done using the agile methodology since
7:55 the hybrid is a combination of the two it handles the requirement changes
7:59 and delivers the product in different stages the fourth and the last
8:03 framework we will see is the lean framework the lean framework works
8:07 on the principle of providing maximum customer value and creating zero waste it
8:12 focuses on optimizing the flow of products
8:14 all through the value stream this helps
8:16 in eliminating waste all through the process and create processes that requires
8:21 less human efforts this also simplifies
8:24 the process of information management and makes
8:26 it more accurate finally let's have a look at some companies that have
8:31 opted for agile project management today
8:33 around 22 percent of the organizations worldwide
8:36 have all their teams working on the principle of agile project methodology let's
8:41 have a look at some of the most prominent companies in the world
8:44 that use agile project management in the list we have ibm cisco atnt
8:50 microsoft philips and samsung and with this we have come to the end
