Agile and Traditional Project Management

Introduction

Project management entails a complex process of ensuring the objectives of the given project are met within the set timelines, with complete conformity of the agreed terms, and within the initial approved financial plan. The project managers have a choice to apply Agile or Traditional project running procedures. The choice concerning both techniques gets more complex, especially where the project is large, application of technology, and strict timelines.

Agile PM vs. Traditional PM

Traditional project management is a general exercise that embraces a combination of advanced systems applied for scheduling, approximating, and regulating actions. Traditional project management is mostly applied to projects where actions are accomplished in a sequence with minimal expected changes (Demirkesen & Ozorhon, 2017). On the other hand, agile project method breaks down assignments into lesser sections that are accomplished in work periods running from the strategy stage to analysis and quality assurance (QA). Notably, the sessions are known as sprints, the word for iteration applied in one precise and common agile improvement technique known as Scrum (Eskerod & Larsen, 2018). The Agile PM is appropriate for large projects whereby there are many uncertainties, and constant change or tactics is necessary. Remarkably, large projects consist of several risks, uncertainties, and complex scope and use of technology. As such, traditional project management techniques may not deliver the desired results.

Conclusion

The traditional project management methods are easier to implement since they only involve introducing, scheduling, implementing, monitoring, and concluding. However, for complex and unpredictable large scale projects, Agile PM is the most appropriate. The Agile PM is in particular, complex requiring high levels of training and experience but suitable for large projects. The iteration enables the managers to device effective methods of coping with the change of the initial plans with minimal wastage of resources such as time and money.

Hello XXXXX,

Thank you for sharing your insights! How is the rolling-wave planning and scheduling project methodology related to the Agile project management?

Professor XXXXX,

The following is the student question:

Hello Class,

In recent years, agile has taken the globe of project management (Links to an external site.) and code development by storm. everybody appears to be talking regarding this project management methodology (Singh, 2019). Personally, I had never heard of Agile management. I work in construction, so everything is generally the same every time which is considered traditional project management.

Traditional Project Management (waterfall) approach is linear where all the phases of a process occur in sequence. Its concept depends on predictable tools and predictable experience. Each and every project follows the same life cycle which includes the stages such as feasibility, plan, design, build, test, production, support. The entire project is planned upfront without any scope for changing requirements. This approach assumes that time and cost are variables and requirements are fixed. This is the reason why traditional project management faces budget and timeline issues.

When a traditional system focuses on upfront planning where factors like cost, scope, and time are given importance, Agile project management is better suited to volatile and innovative projects, such as software development, where there are many risks, where the scope of the project is likely to change, and where an iterative methodology is needed so that risks are mitigated and opportunities fully exploited. Any projects associated with a high level of uncertainty (such as research and development, software development), or in highly volatile industries (such as IT or oil and gas industry), can benefit from an agile approach.

Both Traditional and Agile Project Management have their merits and demerits. It depends on the nature of the product and the circumstances around it which determine the type of method to be used (Pawar, 2018).

sensation and perception application

Directions: Making concepts personally relevant to an individual helps to learn them. Below are several concepts from your reading. Provide a psychological definition of the term and connect it to personal example in your life. Each concept should be a minimum of 50 words with citations to support your examples. List all references at the end of the list in APA style. You may use your textbook as a resource; however, do not use the specific examples in the textbook!

Example:

Sensation – I like listening to my music before going to sleep, but if my parents hear my music after 10 pm, I get in trouble. If my music is below their absolute threshold, then I won’t get in trouble, because they won’t hear it. It is really hard to keep it below their absolute thresholds because it seems that even the faintest amount of sound coming from my room is detectable. In this example, the absolute threshold is the lowest amount of volume that they can detect up to 50% of the time (Grison, Heatherton, & Gazzaniga, 2017).

  • Absolute Threshold
  • Difference Threshold
  • Sensory Adaptation
  • Dark/Light Adaptation
  • The Gate-Control Theory of Pain
  • Perception
  • Choose One of These – Closure, Proximity, Similarity, or Simplicity
  • Top Down Processing or Bottom Up Processing
  • Depth Perception
  • Perceptual Constancy

adult learning 2

Section A

  • focusing on being able to identify the successful elements of adult learning experiences. Also consider your own learning experiences as an adult and what elements may have made those experiences successful or unsuccessful.

Post a description of an adult learning experience that you have had personally or that you have viewed that you see as successful. Be sure to include details like content area, learning environment (online, brick and mortar, work setting, etc.), and any other pertinent information about the experience. Discuss what you believe made that experience successful and relate those elements back to the core principles of adult learning presented in The Adult Learner in Figure 1.1.

Section B

Taking the time to reflect on your own learning styles and to identify how they may have evolved since you were a child can help you become a better educator of other adults. You will find the theme of assessing your own learning styles and previous learning experiences throughout this course. As you gain understanding of the theories behind adult learning, you may also begin to contextualize the experiences you have had.  

To prepare:

  • Consider your own learning as an adult.
  • Take the Personal Adult Learning Style Inventory found in Chapter 17 of the Knowles, Holton, and Swanson (2015) text to explore the extent to which your teaching/learning styles are pedagogically or andragogically oriented. 

In 2–3 pages, address the following:

  • Score and report your results from the inventory.
  • How consistent are the results with what you thought they might be? Explain the extent to which your teaching and learning may be pedagogically/andragogically oriented.
  • How do you believe your style has evolved since you were a child? Support your answer with elements of the andragogical theory.
