Description
Ever work on a project where your methodology didn't quite fit? Maybe you were using waterfall but needed a bit more flexibility. Or you were using agile, but needed a bit more structure and predictability.
Enter “hybrid” project management – a merging of old and new.
Agile and Waterfall are two different visions of project delivery methods. Agile is about iterative development and flexibility, while Waterfall requires careful planning, with predictable outcomes, making change management a challenge. Organizations trying to use one or the other are coming to the realization that using principles of both approaches can be more beneficial than choosing a single approach.
But how do you know when hybrid methods are best?
This course will teach you about the evolution of project management methods and how “hybrid” methods have come into vogue as the most useful. We'll cover the advantages and disadvantages of each method, and how to us those to analyze the best track for your project to take. We will also cover the elements and skills needed to deploy hybrid project management and some key examples/case studies by project type/industry.
In this course, you will:
Understand the benefits and drawbacks of waterfall and agile methodologies and how they benefit projects
Learn the skills needed to choose and manage projects using hybrid
Decide which hybrid methods to apply to your project based on key attributes
