Project management vs product management

One of the

Stakeholder Engagement: A Key to Project Success with David Longstaff

is that people on teams must work together collaboratively with the customer. This is done by defining and prioritizing requirements, developing, testing, and providing feedback in a continuous and repetitive cycle of iterations. Often, the customer will be co-located with the development team.

Self-organisation by teams is also one of the Agile principles. Agile teams determine their own tools and techniques to use (e.g. task backlogs, burn-down charts, Kanban boards), rather than these being mandated by a

.PRINCE2 and Agile comparison

Planning

One key difference between PRINCE2 and Agile methods is that PRINCE2 is often described as a predictive (plan-based) approach, while

Agile calls for short-term, incremental achievements independent of an over-arching plan (the adaptive approach).This means that, while PRINCE2 enables the customer to remain focused on the project’s original business goals, Agile approaches are very responsive to changes in the project environment and customer requirements.

Agile approaches assume that the development process is (predictably) unpredictable. They encourage complete transparency, close collaboration and frequent delivery of usable sub-products that will eventually contribute to the final product delivered.

PRINCE2 has the concept of ‘

’. This suggests that different plans are required by different levels of the project management team. There are 3 levels of plan in PRINCE2:

Long-term – this is a high-level

project plan which is required by the key decision-makers (the project board).

Copied!Medium-term – this is a stage plan required by the project manager for every stage of the project.

Key takeawaysShort-term – this is a team plan required by each team manager (leader) to cover the work done by their team. This is a detailed plan.

A Scrum sprint is based upon the key Agile concept of a ‘time-box’ – a fixed period of time typically ranging from between 1-4 weeks.

Maintain the credential with 60 PDUs every three years and keep evidence ready for audits and renewals.At the end of every Scrum sprint a Scrum team delivers working software to the customer. Delivering working software at the end of each sprint guarantees that the software is never delivered late.

Time-boxes and team plans

The Agile concept of time-boxes or iterations fits in neatly with PRINCE2’s concept of a team plan because there can be one or more time-boxes within a team plan.

ContentsPRINCE2 doesn’t prescribe how many time-boxes a team plan should contain because that’s a decision for the self-organizing Agile team members. PRINCE2 Agile
