Agile Project Management Model

Synthesized from the discipline of management study discipline: Deming’s management (PDCA), Complex Adaptive System: CAS, PMI project management

Three new agile project management techniques: 1) “eXtreme Project Management”, 2) “Agile Project Management: Creating Innovative Products”, 3) “Project Management e-Learning”.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE

to develop… the Agile Project

Management model for flexible project

management programs

>> so project outcomes can adapted to

rapidly changing ICT environments such as

in the “Smart m-Learning” project.

RESEARCH ASSUMPTION

“Agile Project Management”

….is accepted by the project management experts.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Developed an opened-ended / in-depth interviews

Designed the model: The Proposed Agile Project Management Model.

Performed in-depth interviews to ensure the approval of the proposed Agile Project Management model.

The Agile Project Management Model

Collected and analyzed the interview data/ Ensure the approval of the proposed model

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Sample Groups

Group 1 Five project management experts who have more

than 15 years experience in project management

career in the private sector.

Group 2 Three experts from the universities who have at least

10 years of experience in managing the m-Learning

or/ e-Learning projects or/ other related technology

involved projects management.

Project Retrospect

Project Continuous Improvement

What are the problems which project try to solve ,

improve and develop?What are the benefit to our customer

for the project outcomes?Who is the main project responsibility?

Do we need the initial cycle planning module to deliver

at least 2 rounds continuous improvement for our client satisfaction?Is self control within project team lead by

project leader instead of strongly control by project controller better than strong control

from out side? Could the project outcome in each iteration

cycle could be change according to the client needed?

Do delivery the final iteration round is not the ended of the project, isn’t it?

When will be the final step for ending the project?

Do we need to review for each passed iterative cycle for collection and

documentation collection and review for an effective product usage?

How can we develop a knowledge management from all the lesson-learnt

both success and failure stories that happened during the project development

in next project for continuous improvement ?
