Agile as a Symbol of Modern Project Management Development
For me, Agile is a symbol of modern project management development. The famous Agile methodology stands for everything that can be considered as a state of the art: fresh and innovative.
To put it simply, it shows a completely different approach to team and project management than how it was approached before.
The term Agile comes from the “Agile manifesto” written by a small group of web developers.
They wanted to change the traditional way of managing projects in software development and as a result, they came up with a list of values that, they believed, could make a difference.
From that point, the methods based on the Agile methodology are gaining more and more popularity not only among the IT/ software or web developers but also among those companies that work on various types of developmental projects, especially among those where teams are organizational units.
Looks like agile management not only changed the IT environment but also the whole society rallied around project management.
The most popular Agile development methods include teamwork, collaboration, process adaptability throughout the life cycle of the project, and constant development (by iteration and incrementation).
Many modern project management kinds of software are built and developed to support these methods. They allow users to break huge tasks into smaller pieces based on short planning instead of long-term assumptions.
They lay stress on internal communication, self-organized cross-functional teams, and flexibility. Being built this way the software helps users deliver high-quality products more frequently which in turn minimalizes the risk of failure and maximizes profits.
Nowadays every modern software development studio should meet the demands of the agile methodology.
The last few years proved the supremacy of Agile so if you are looking for a valuable and powerful tool, search for one that supports the Agile methods.
