ConceptsMake Agility work with your PMBOK® standards!
If your organization has project management processes that are based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), then any project that uses an Agile approach can be a problem. The way an Agile project operates will be significantly different, and the status that an Agile project reports just won't make sense in the organization's normal reporting structure. If you choose to allow Agile projects to simply be different, then it defeats the reason for having standards in the first place. Additionally, Program Management will become nearly impossible because the Agile projects will not fit the mold. The best approach is to learn how to interpret Agile practices in the context of the PMBOK. You will find that the vast majority of what an Agile project does can be easily translated into PMBOK terms. And in those few cases where Agile practices need to be adjusted, you will be equipped to collaborate with Agile advocates to ensure that the intent and benefits of both the PMBOK and Agility are maintained.
