Using Agile Alongside the PMBOK

چکیده
As the use of both agile and traditional methods continues to grow, the need for guidelines on how the two approaches may be used together will increase. This paper identifies the growth of both agile and formal approaches to project management then examines the origins and key elements of the two methods. The characteristics of software projects that lead to challenges in applying traditional project management approaches are examined and agile alternatives introduced. Finally, recommendations for combining agile and traditional project management approaches are provided and the use of agile inspired project execution and control processes are discussed.
