Benefits of Agile for Project Management

Agile framework, which was found out as a balanced ground among various frameworks, is being commonly used by project management these days. This article will cover some advantages of the mentioned framework for project management.

1. Creating high-quality products.

Agile framework not only makes use of processes and tools but also puts a strong emphasis on human devotion. Tasks are completed under the definition of done: developed, tested, integrated and documented. Also, by producing frequent updates and making use of automated testing tools, the product’s quality is continuously improved.

2. Minimizing all the waste.

Since anything that does not contribute to the customer’s satisfaction is considered waste, Agile allows the project team to minimize the waste of time, resources and effort by making a close connection between customer and project leader to make sure that the team is always on the right track.

3. Faster problem detection.

The project’s success depends heavily on how quickly and how effectively the team detects and solves unexpected problems. With problem detection techniques such as fishbone diagram, 5 whys, control charts, and so on, the problem could be easily recognized, thus enabling the team to deliver satisfactory products.

4. Achieving customer satisfaction.

Under Agile framework, product owners have a deep involvement during the process to clarify and ensure their priorities and requirements. Agile team is also flexible in directing to customer’s new requirements. Products are delivered quickly to customers, granting them earlier access during the life cycle of the products.

5. Increasing team collaboration.

Since individual interactions are top prioritized, project managers are provided with different tools, practices, and principles for maintaining team collaboration. Daily scum is one of the easiest techniques, it is also a good way to start for project managers. A sprint retrospective - the larger version of daily scum, could also be conducted at the end of the project as a way for team members to share their insights.
