Agile Project Management For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Agile project management is becoming agile product development. Products are considered long-term, value-creating assets requiring permanent teams who interactively elaborate, design, develop, test, integrate, document, and even support products until business outcomes are achieved. Agile product development focuses on continuous improvement, scope flexibility, team input, and delivering essential valuable outcomes. Agile development approaches include scrum as a framework for exposing progress, extreme programming (XP) for building in quality upfront, and lean thinking to eliminate waste. These and many other tools and techniques help organizations, teams, and individuals adhere to the Agile Manifesto and the 12 Agile Principles, which focus on small, long-lived, self-organizing teams, effective communications, continuously releasable product, and flexibility.
