Project success through customized governance
Agile or traditional/waterfall? Or maybe SCRUM? KANBAN? LEAN? XP? PMBOK? PRINCE2? SAFe? LESS? DAD?
The confusion can easily increase the more you ask or the more you read.
Often a hybrid of methods is suitable and it is always good to adapt, a little or a lot, the method to the project, the organization and the situation.
Agile work at team level
- Agile methodology: The work is iterative and incremental, focusing on flexibility and rapid adaptation to changing conditions. Scrum and Kanban are a couple of the most well-known agile frameworks.
- Scrum: A well-known agile methodology that uses short, timeboxed iterations - sprints. It focuses on collaboration, customer feedback, and small increments of improvement. Read more at Scrum.org.
