Learn How Enterprise Companies Adopt Agile at the Portfolio, Program & Project Management.

Abstract:

The development of “Agile” processes has introduced new ways of thinking about Project Management, which impact Project Management Organizations in various ways. This paper divides the range of practices commonly found in PMOs into Project Management, Program Management, and Portfolio Management, and identifies how the introduction of Agile processes such as Scrum impacts these areas. We find that Agile processes have strong effects on the conduct of Project Management, moderate effects on the conduct of Program Management, and weak effects on the conduct of Portfolio Management. Finally, we note that that Portfolio Management is more naturally aligned with Agile principles than are Program and Project Management, and conclude that one effect of the growing adoption of Agile methods is to bring the perspective of Portfolio Management down to the project level.
