From Project Manager

toAgile Coach

@GerardChiva - gerard.chiva@gmail.com 35

Belief SystemProject Management belief Replaced with

We can plan the work and work the plan Planning is essential; plans are useless

The triple constraints can be trade off for one another to correct unknowns

Time and budget (people) are held constant. Only scope flexes

The plan gets more accurate over time as we flesh out the project through phases of activity: requirements, design, development, testing, and so on.

A plan gets more accurate over time because it is constantly revised and trued up to the team’s actual performance

Delivering on time, within budget, and on scope equals success

Clients getting the business value they need is the only measure of success

Scope can be locked down with later discoveries being handled as change requests against the scheduled end date

Scope remains flexible, and changes of any kind are welcomed even late in the project

Controlling through the project plan is my job Controlling through a plan is not possible; releasing the team into the safety of agile is my only measure of control. So, I coach a team to use agile well

Completing tasks and delivering deliverables indicate progress and value delivered

Only delivered end products indicate progress and value delivered
