Acing a Project through PMP and Agile

What is PMP-

PMP stands for Project Management Professional. This certification is offered by Project Management Institute (PMI) and is a globally-accepted certification for Professional-Level Project Managers.

PMP Prep Course

What is Agile-

The Agile Certification is founded on the beliefs and principles described in the 2001 Agile Manifesto. Scrum, Kanban, and Feature Driven Development (FDD) are just a few of the paradigms in the Agile group.

5 steps for a PMP Certified Project Manager-

  1. Initiation- Defining the details is the first step in any project. This step includes phases such as identifying the stakeholders, determining whether or not stakeholders are engaged in the project, assessing the project’s feasibility, etc.
  1. Making a Plan- A Project Manager and stakeholders meet in order to design a plan for the tasks that need to be The Project Manager uses an outline to identify these objectives: 
  • Costs
  • Sequence of Events
  • Timelines and deadlines
  • Communicating with the individuals involved in a Project
  • Resources
  • Manpower Requirements
  • Financing
  1. Executing the Project- In this step, all individuals included in the Project are given a list of responsibilities and tasks. Project Managers must communicate with each team member and be assured that every individual understands what is expected from them in order to meet the project’s results.
  1. Monitoring the Project- Project Monitoring is a method of keeping track of all project-related statistics like team performance, task time frame, identifying potential issues, and taking appropriate measures to ensure that the project stays on track. Project Monitoring entails overseeing all tasks and project activities.
  1. Closure- The final phase of a project management lifecycle is Project Closure. A project team reviews the outcomes of a project by comparing and testing the project’s eventual goal. The outcomes are then discussed with the project’s clients.

5 Steps in Agile Methodology-

  1. Project Planning- Just like every Project, Agile methodology projects need to be planned before initiating any steps. The goal of Agile Project Management is to make it convenient to resolve changes or additions to the project plans in order for them to not be considered immutable.
  1. Creating a Project Roadmap- Creating a roadmap of the project helps by making a list of features that need to be included in the final product. Since a project team builds the features noted by themselves, this becomes an important step in the Agile Methodology. The team may also be needed to create a product backlog list that will be needed for the final product.
  1. Constructing the Projects- Agile methodology focuses on delivering prototype results more frequently in order to collect regular feedback. This practice run makes the team effective enough to make changes as per the current situation/demands.
  1. Managing a Product’s Backlog- After each iteration in Project-based on Agile concepts, the results for the modified version must be recalculated and compared with the previous version. Implementing this step helps the team to stay clear and definite on a project’s goal.
  1. Final Discussion- This is the final phase of a Project based on Agile Methodologies. Before concluding a Project, the team must sit down and discuss all the outcomes of their work. An overview of the project before presenting it in front of the client gives the team a clear idea and visualization of their work. Agile imparts that last-minute suggestions play a vital role in the execution of a project and a quick discussion with the team prior to its presentation improves the quality.

Suitable preparatory courses such as the Agile Prep Course and PMP Prep Course are hard to find due to the numerous institutes in the market offering the same courses.

512 PMPs and counting

Education Edge Canada - A PMI REP and IIBA EEP - 512 PMP Certified in 2020 and counting.....

The number just keeps ticking with every hour. 

It's time to now congratulate
 Jerry Piskorski Faith Biyapo, MA, CSM, DBA Murat Tunca C.E.T. LEED GA Saud Ahmed, CSM, ITIL Busola Oyegbile PMP 
on their PMP Certification.

I have always believed that the goal of life should not always be to follow a path, at times it should also to venture into undiscovered paths and leave a trail.
Jerry, Busola, Saud, Murat and Gimem, in the last few months, your dedication and hard work has been unparalleled and the will to succeed has been far greater than other things. There are folks who seem to relish the dreamworld, others who like the reality and then there are few like yourselves who turn the dreams into reality.

No matter where you are from , what race you belong to and the journey that you must have taken, 
bear in mind that our dreams will always remain valid!!
