In theory, Project
Management is the task of keeping an organization in alignment, and
guaranteeing quality delivery in time. It can be intimidating to manage
culture, workplace, team, and budget, along with keeping the stakeholders
satisfied and happy with every result. Here Agile methodologies come to the
rescue of a project manager.

| Agile Manifesto and PMI-ACP |
An incremental approach to
completing projects in project management is Agile. Agile methodology delivers
projects with early submissions and with full client approval. Agile
facilitates flexibility and collaboration within the team instead of top to
down hierarchical management.
Agile is considered as an
umbrella methodology, as it covers many other management practices like Srum,
Kanban, Xtreme Programming (XP) etc. A Project Management Professional (PMP) course trains you to be a
globally managed professional in the field of product management.
Agile
methodology works on 4 core values and 12 principles. These are,
Values-
1. Individuals and interaction over processes and tools.
2. Customer collaboration.
3. Welcome to a change over
following a strict plan.
4. Working software over
contract negotiation.
Principles-
1. Agile delivers projects on time and with utmost
satisfaction to their clients.
2. Agile supports in breaking the monotonous
chains of repetitiveness. It believes in changing processes, innovative ideas
and creative minds.
3. Agile welcomes change. Agile also welcomes
regularized work to do in an unregularized way.
4.
To keep doing the work, i.e. delivering softwares, continuously with
excellence.
5. Teamwork and effective communication
throughout the project is the key to client satisfaction.
6. Motivation makes miracles happen. Agile
trusts the wonders of motivation, supportive environment for work, and believes
in the skills of the team to get the work done.
7. Agile says, neither an email, messages,
texts, or written communication can beat the efficacy of face to face
communications when it comes to conveying information to and within teams.
8. Agile sets the standard of work in progress,
that is a working software.
9. Consistent detailing and technical excellence
improves agility to product development.
10. Agile methodology promotes sustainable
development and consistency in maintaining a constant pace with developers,
users and sponsors.
11. Maximizing the amount of work not done. This
ensures to stick to the important work with 100 percent focus, instead of
having mediocre attention to the large size of work.
12. Self-organizing teams can bring out the best
designs, architectures, requirements and project failure.
Agile
facilitates tuning in with teams, adjustments with behavior and contemplate
towards becoming more effective for the project.
