About This Course
Not all projects can be managed with a calendar-based plan. You must plan some projects as you learn what works.
Organizations are increasingly using Adaptive methodologies to address expanding uncertainty, complexity, and the need for iterative development and implementation. These methodologies and the practices they include provide new opportunities by making work visible and focusing on what individuals and teams need to be sustainably more effective and efficient. They are iterative, closely involve the customer, and build in continuous learning.
The two most popular adaptive project management methodologies are Scrum and Kanban. Scrum became well known in the early 2000s. Its cousin, Kanban, was adapted from the manufacturing world in the mid-2000s. Scrum came from the Agile concepts while Kanban came from the Lean concepts. We will dive deeply into both methodologies and briefly look at predecessor methodologies, including Crystal, Extreme Programming, and Dynamic Systems Development.
We will start by exploring Agile and Lean, the roots of Scrum and Kanban, and end by reviewing ScrumBan's attempts to take the best from Scrum and Kanban. You will explore the knowledge, skills, and techniques needed to apply adaptive project management within your organization.
