Agile Practice Guide

Produced jointly by PMI and the Agile Alliance as a bridge between traditional project management and agile ways of working. It covers the agile mindset, the selection of a life cycle across predictive, iterative, incremental and agile approaches, and how to introduce agile practices into an organisation that runs on gates and portfolio reporting. There are sections on the common agile methods, on measurement in a team that works in short cycles, and on the organisational impediments that quietly stop delivery from changing. An appendix maps the material back to the PMBOK Guide, which is what makes it useful to a project manager working in both worlds. It is also the companion text for the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner examination.
