HomeBlogProject ManagementOne Size Does Not Fit All: How to Choose Between Adaptive and Predictive Project Methodologies
Since the publication of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development in 2001, adaptive approaches to project delivery gained momentum challenging the traditional predictive approaches, especially for software development projects.
Over the past decade, agile project management has gained popularity as a means of effectively dealing with today's project uncertainty. Quite successful for small software development teams, Agile frameworks caught the attention of Project Managers as a way to improve the likelihood of successful delivery. The Agile PMP certification program is often touted as the de facto standard for executing projects.
However, using Agile practices to manage projects, especially for large and complex non-technical projects in conservative environments like government and highly regulated business domains remains a challenge.
The nature and characteristics of the project must dictate the type of project management approach to be taken.
In this ebook, we present an analysis by Dan S. Roman, an outcome-driven Senior Project Manager and Scrum Master. A champion of combining best practices to achieve results, Dan shares insights from over four decades of project management experience.
The ebook is a guide for enterprises to evaluate the best approach to choose between adaptive and predictive delivery for projects.
Looking at the history of project management, it is obvious that neither predictive nor adaptive delivery approaches are silver bullets. They are not generic delivery frameworks even in a specific domain, like software development.
To choose the optimal delivery approach, companies must pay heed to the company culture, project characteristics and the team’s maturity, says Dan. Every framework was developed for a certain project, environment, and team. Just because it worked for them, does not mean that it will work for you, he emphasizes.
In conclusion, when an organisation must choose between adaptive and predictive delivery, the focus should be on practices rather than frameworks.
