5 Key Project Manager Tasks???? Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 5

6 Agile Methodologies A mindset, a philosophy, a set of values A different way to think about and execute projects A set of processes and techniques that implement the above Core focus: Deliver something that is of business value as quickly as possible Built on trust, respect, collaboration people focus Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 6

7 Agile Methodologies SCRUM XP (Xtreme Programming) Crystal DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) Adaptive Software Development Feature Driven Development Pragmatic Programming Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 7

8 Agile History Origins go back to 1980 s Began with an IT focus, but can be applied to non-it areas Grew out of the Rapid Application Development (RAD) movement First named Agile : February 2001 Group of like-minded compatriots Developed the Agile Manifesto Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 8

9 Manifesto for Agile Software Development We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

10 Manifesto for Agile Software Kent Beck Mike Beedle Arie van Bennekum Alistair Cockburn Ward Cunningham Martin Fowler James Grenning Jim Highsmith Andrew Hunt Ron Jeffries Jon Kern Brian Marick Robert C. Martin Steve Mellor Ken Schwaber Jeff Sutherland Dave Thomas Development 2001, the above authors this declaration may be freely copied in any form, but only in its entirety through this notice.

11 SCRUM Characteristics Iterative and incremental Adaptive feedback Early delivery of business value Close collaboration with business users Self managed teams Requirements prioritization Always address highest priority first Detail requirements only when needed Detail estimates only when needed Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 11

12 SCRUM Components Roles Product Owner Scrum Master Team Stakeholders Artifacts Vision and Goals Backlogs (product, release, sprint) Burndown chart (product, release, sprint) Working Software Sprints Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 12

13 Time-boxed (2-4 weeks) Sprint backlog Daily Scrum Meetings Stand-up minutes Update burn down charts Questions What did you do? What are you going to do? What are your obstacles? Abnormal termination Sprints Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 13

14 SRUM Project Lifecycle Shared Visions/Goals Requirements/Features/Functions Product backlog Release(s) Release planning Sprint(s) Release backlog Sprint planning Sprit backlog Sprint execution Sprint review (i.e. demo) Sprint retrospective Release implementation Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 14

15 Role of the SCRUM Master Team Building work as a single unit Coordinate Communicate Coach Facilitate Remove obstacles Shield team from distractions Ensure process is followed Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 15

16 How it All Comes Together Only demo done components need to define what done means Team determines who does what, members asks for help when needed No network chart Obstacles always there (issues, risk) need to overcome team finds ways to get over, around, under or thru Generate a common understanding No changes except at sprint breaks Can terminate sprint abnormally Daily scrum for team members visitors are listeners only Product backlog not WBS, but Feature Breakdown Structure Prioritizing non-functional requirements user doesn t care about, but needed Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 16

17 Concerns About Using Agile / SCRUM????? Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 17

18 PMBOK Project management best practices What is tested on PMP exam Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 18

19 PMBOK Process Areas Initiation Planning Execution Management and Control Close out Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 19

20 PMBOK- Knowledge Areas Integration Scope Time Cost Quality Risk Human Resources Communication Procurement Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 20

21 PMBOK - Deliverables Project Charter Project Plan Work Break Down Structure (WBS) Schedule w/dependencies Budget Communications Plan Human Resource Plan Risk Plan Procurement Plan Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 21

22 PMBOK - Deliverables Change Control/Change Log Accepted Deliverables/Acceptance Log Risk Log Issue Log Lessons Learned Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 22

23 PMP vs. CSM: Scope PMBOK: Principle: Provide the services and functions you are supposed to, and no more Details: Define and baseline scope Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Control scope changes SCRUM Manifestation: Product backlog/release backlog/sprint backlog Feature Breakdown Structure (FBS) Frequent reprioritization Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 23

24 PMP vs. CSM: Schedule (Time) PMBOK: Principle: Finish the project by the agreed upon date Details: Account for dependencies (network diagrams) Establish and baseline schedule (detail estimates) SCRUM Manifestation: Detail estimates only in sprint backlog Relative estimates for product and release Assign features to releases and sprints based on relative size and priority Delivered feature list is variable, not time Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 24

25 PMP vs. CSM: Budget (Cost) PMBOK: Principle: Stay within the agreed upon dollars Details: Establish and baseline project budget Track actual costs against budget SCRUM Manifestation: Relative estimates Product and Release Detail estimates - Sprint Delivered feature list is variable, not cost Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 25

26 PMP vs. CSM: Risk PMBOK: Principle: Don t let unexpected events derail the project Details: Quality and quantify risks Establish risk strategies Monitor risks and implement strategies SCRUM Manifestation: Modify backlogs to address risk through reprioritization, adding/deleting tasks Can terminate a sprint abnormally Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 26

27 PMP vs. CSM: Quality PMBOK: Principle: Produce a product that meets established quality standards Details: Quality assurance Quality control (inspections) SCRUM Manifestation: Early and repeated feedback via sprint reviews Sprint retrospectives (adaptive changes) Self-managed teams Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 27

28 PMP vs. CSM: Communication PMBOK: Principle: Tell people what they need to know Details: Create and follow a communication plan Formal and informal communication techniques SCRUM Manifestation: Daily SCRUM meetings Close collaboration with product owner Co-location Small teams SCRUM of SCRUMS Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 28

29 PMBOK: PMP vs. CSM: Human Principle: Maintain a project environment supportive of the team s needs Details: Resource planning Team building Training SCRUM Manifestation: Self-managed teams Co-location Resources Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 29

30 PMP vs. CSM: Procurement PMBOK: Principle: Work effectively with external suppliers Details: Contract types Contract closure SCRUM Manifestation: Says nothing explicit about Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 30

31 PMP vs. CSM: Integration - PMBOK: Principle: Only change what you are supposed to Details: Change Formal approval of changes Re-baseline plans when change approved SCRUM Manifestation: Sprint and release backlogs are the change control documents (deltas) Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 31

32 PMBOK: Principle: Make sure the project sponsor agrees you are done Details: Walkthroughs Formal approval of deliverables SCRUM Manifestation: Sprint reviews Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 32

33 Risk Management Resource Planning Training Planning Procurement External communication beyond product owner Formal sign-offs - But doesn t preclude the SCRUM Master from performing the above Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 33

34 Adaptive, not predictive Planning does occur More levels of planning Detailed planning delayed until needed More embracing of change More control by the team members More emphasis on coaching, mentoring Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 34

35 Conclusions Scrum Master and PMP are compatible Can perform all knowledge areas and process areas of PMBOK within SCRUM Difference in manifestations of underlying principles (i.e. techniques used, deliverables produced) SCRUM does not (generally) preclude the creation of the different PMBOK deliverables it just doesn t specifically require them Copyright 2007 by Karen Little 35
