5 ways you can integrate Agile into Project Management

I often get asked by project managers, “How can I become Agile in a project management world?”. My answer is that you can “add some Agile” to your current project management world while still operating as normal. How do you do that? It’s best to rethink some elements of project management and keep the rest the same. For example, having a “lessons learned” session at the end of the project just because it is on the project plan isn’t useful for a project team that may never work together again. Especially if the information isn’t captured in a lessons learned database, for example, and shared with PMs before projects start.

This presentation will focus on 5 ways in which project managers can integrate “some Agile” into their project management framework. I will break down in detail how PMs can leverage Agile tools and techniques while still operating as a PM. In addition, I will outline the value and benefit of layering “some Agile” into your PM game will bring you.

OBJECTIVES

• Learn 5 ways that PMs can integrate Agile into their PM processe
• Understand in detail how to implement Agile tools and techniques into a PM framework
• Comprehend the value and benefit of adding Agile techniques to your projects

Presentation  

In recent years, we have seen an increase in the use of technology and data in the healthcare industry. For example, we now have devices such as CPAP machines that contain sim cards that directly send sleep results to your physician. Your physician team can make changes to the device digitally to improve your sleep patterns.

We now have medicine bottles that provide alerts to ensure medicine is taken when needed. Diabetic patients can avoid finger sticks using devices such as the Freestyle Libre which monitors blood sugar levels and can connect to smart devices and your physician teams. With these devices comes much needed data and platforms that allow not only day-to-day monitoring of health, but also long-term predictive analytics and forecasting for future patient care.

As project and program managers it is up to us to help guide and facilitate initiatives that turn this data into useful analytics and products that foster company growth and provide positive impact to individual health.
