Hybrid project management

  • Combination of traditional methods with agile
  • Can be implemented in a number of different ways
  • project work can go from Definable vs High uncertainity
    • Definable
      • Clear procedures
      • Proved successful on similar projects
      • Car production or electrical appliances
    • Uncertainity
      • not done before
      • high rates of change, complexity and risk
      • Software development, designing a house

Four lifecycles of a project * Predictive * Iterative * Incremetal * Agile

Approach Requirements Activities Delivery Goal
Predictive Fixed Performed once for entire project Single Delivery Manage cost
Iterative Dynamic Repeated until correct Single Correctness of solution
Incremental Dynamic Performed once for a given increment Frequent smaller deliveries Speed
Agile Dynamic Repeated until correct Frequent smaller deliveries Customer value
## Hybrid Method 1
* Design → Develop → Test in Agile
* Rollout → Predictive
* Agile development followed by a Predictive rollout

Hybrid Method 2

  • Combination of Agile and Predictive used simultaneously

Hybrid Method 3

  • Predominantly predictive approach with only a small part in Agile

Hybrid Method 4

  • Predominantly agile approach with only a small part in predictive
  • Some projects where a small part is outsourced - external company is predictive
