Agile is the future of project management. Many companies are adopting agile methodologies to increase team performance and improve customer satisfaction. This one-day virtual course is designed to teach you the principles and practices of Agile, such as Scrum.
1. Better customer satisfaction
Unlike other management methodologies, a high degree of customer satisfaction is Agile’s chief project success metric.
Instead of assuming what a customer may want or need, the Agile approach actively collaborates with them to give them a product they’re happy with.
This is largely down to the sprint-based approach, where you have regular intervals to accommodate user stories and opinions at all project stages.
Think of it this way:
It’s like someone asking you what you’d like for your housewarming present. Sure, you won’t be surprised anymore, but you’ll be getting something you actually want and need, instead of your third rice cooker!
2. More adaptability
Unlike other project management methodologies, Agile welcomes change.
It’s an extremely adaptable project management methodology, allowing you to deal with sudden project scope and feature changes with ease!
Confused about what the project scope is?
3. On-time and budget
Adaptability helps project teams develop collaborative decision making to make tradeoffs between time and budget constraints over project goals. Consequently, projects experience faster turnaround times and stay within budget.
Cost savings and time savings?
Talk about the best of both worlds!
4. Better teamwork
As this methodology prioritizes face-to-face collaboration, it results in better teamwork. Everyone actively works together to make the customer happy and accommodate user stories.
Additionally, Scrum meetings are the perfect place for your team to build chemistry and resolve any pending issues or queries.
5. Increased motivation
Agile’s sprint-based approach is the perfect way to boost team morale. As they only work on smaller, short-term project goals, they can complete them quickly and feel a sense of achievement. This will motivate them to carry on and complete more sprints faster!
Look at it like this:
Since you’re splitting your project into shorter, more achievable deliverables, you can complete more deliverables. And that means rewarding yourself more.
So instead of celebrating with one pizza at the end of the whole project, you get multiple pizzas throughout the process.
And there is no such thing as too much pizza.
