Importance of ScopeThe project scope is everything

about a project- content and expected outcomes- and needs

to be managed diligently

Turning an idea into reality

This house only took a year to build? Let’s think bigger!

Too easy. This should only take 6 months.

Pablo Almunia Sanz

TimeEstimates are made for the

length of time each component within the scope

will take to complete.

Pablo Almunia Sanz

PlanningTasks are organized

depending on departments and available resources.

Pablo Almunia Sanz

It seems easy…

Right?

But it continues being difficult

31 % of projects are cancelled (nothing was completed)

16 % of projects are sucessful (delivered on time, on budget, and to the expected standard)

53% of projects are completed unsatisfactorily (It was delivered but went over budget and/or wasn’t finished on time)

The team does the job, therefore it makes the

decisions

Pablo Almunia Sanz

All aspects of the process must be

measurable

Adaptable

If variations and inefficiencies are detected, steps should be taken to

change the process or outcome

When a task is created, it’s included in a To-Do list.

Agile projects and predictive projects should be

measureable

What is not mesured can’t be improved!

Agile projects manage doubt very well

Predictive projects manage certainty very well

We must choose the best ones in each case

Project managers must adapt to

change between agile projects and

predictive projects

Dynamics and functions are very different

To share staff between projects is always difficult, but even more so when

it’s between agile and predictive projects. The new role within the team needs to be

understood comprehensively.

We clearly define restrictions and expectations of agile

and predictive projects

To manage a single portfolio

Pablo Almunia Sanz

If we want to to use both

agile methods and classical

methods in the same project, we need to divide our tasks in 2

projects, and put them in the same program’s group.

Don’t drive the team, the users and everyone involved in the

project crazy: you should

manage agile projects and predictive projects with

one single tool!
