Description

Not All Projects Can be Agile……Do Not Force Agile on All Projects just to look Cool- Your Project Will Fail !!We Discover- What is Waterfall and what is Agile- differences, benefits, applicability, etc?We then talk about the 3 Scrum Roles, Scrum Process, Scrum Ceremonies, Scrum Artefacts,etcThen we discuss measuring Prgress of Agile Projects- Kanban, Burn up- Burn Down Charts, CFD, Throughput, & Scaling AgileFinally, we go back to Waterfall- See the PMBOK 2021 ECO Guidelines- People- Process- Envt., PMBOK 7th Edition 2021, and PMBOK ProcessGuide 2023We cover PMBOK guide latest thinking from PMBOK 7th Edition and PMBOK Process Group Guide 2023 to give students a quick overview of the new guides recently introduced and summary of whole guide in a very subtle way.We discuss each one of them quickly to give you a grasp of these latest guides in just a few sessions and videos.The course ends up with Talking about Hybrid Projects- combining Agile- Waterfall based on actual real life needs.We Finally discuss the PMBOK Way of doing Hybrid Projects by mixing and matching different approaches.We also see other courses taught by Dr. Sam in PMP, Agile, AI, Devops, BA, PO, AWS etc.
