Agile Framework

 
Even if the classic framework of Agile has been developed for software, project managers can apply some of this principles:
 
  • Individuals and Interactions Over Processes and Tools: we need to keep in mind Customer Experience. 
  • Working Software Over Comprehensive Documentation: for example, launch experiences more faster bring value faster. The AHA moment!
  • Customer Collaboration Over Contract Negotiation: bring the customer to the decisions, show that they have an essential responsabilitie for the progress of the strategy. 
  • Responding to Change Over Following a Plan: the pre-scoped is essential but is more essential change the strategy when you identify problems on the project.  
Think in each project as a story, that needs beginning (scope define and kickoff), middle (development and adoption) and end (launches).

Rather than count the time in days or month we need measure the evolution per week. With less time we'll obligate ourselves to purpose better solutions and management of the projects.
