Agile Project Management
JMA Management Center
April 27, 2022
From construction, information technology, and healthcare to film, music, and video game projects, project management practices continue to evolve. In conventional construction projects, the mainstream was ``waterfall-type (predictive) development,'' in which all planning was decided at the beginning. However, as seen in system construction and software development, there is a rapidly increasing need for ``agile (adaptive) development'' that leads to completion of projects through high-speed trial and error.
Following this trend, this book is a practical guide for practitioners that focuses on agile development while providing an overview of project management. The content also corresponds to the "PMBOK Guide 7th Edition" published in 2022.
