Agile management
Agile management is the application of the principles of Agile software development and Lean Management to various management processes, particularly product development. Following the appearance of The Manifesto for Agile Software Development in 2001, Agile techniques started to spread into other areas of activity.[1] The term Agile originates from Agile manufacturing - which in the early 1990s had developed from flexible manufacturing systems and lean manufacturing/production.[2]
In 2004, one of the authors of the original manifesto, Jim Highsmith, published Agile Project Management: Creating Innovative Products.[3]
The term "Agile Project Management" has not been picked up by any of the international organizations developing Project Management Standards.
- The ISO Standard ISO 21502:2020[4] refers to the term "agile" as a delivery approach of products (project scope).
- The PMBoK Standard[5] published by the Project Management Institute refers to an "adaptive" type of development lifecycle also called "agile" or "change-driven" about the product development lifecycle of a project (an element of the project lifecycle).
Use
[edit]Agile management is now the most popular management method for project management. Its birth has brought many positive effects to project management, including that it can bring positive responses in unpredictable and frequently changing environments. In agile management, creativity is the most important factor, because without creativity there is no innovation, and there is no way to promote the continuous operation of the project. Therefore, in teams and projects using agile management, it is necessary to stimulate the creativity of members to bring about sustainable innovation and promote the overall development of the project.[6]
