Hybrid Project Management for Project Managers

Agile? Waterfall? Why not both? Learn the benefits of these approaches to develop your own recipe for project success.

Ever work on a project where your methodology didn't quite fit? Maybe you were using waterfall but needed a bit more flexibility. Or you were using agile, but needed a bit more structure and predictability.

Enter “hybrid” project management – a merging of old and new.

Agile and Waterfall are two different visions of project delivery methods. Agile is about iterative development and flexibility, while Waterfall requires careful planning, with predictable outcomes, making change management a challenge.  Organizations trying to use one or the other are coming to the realization that using principles of both approaches can be more beneficial than choosing a single approach.

But how do you know when hybrid methods are best?

This course will teach you about the evolution of project management methods and how “hybrid” methods have come into vogue as the most useful.  We'll cover the advantages and disadvantages of each method, and how to us those to analyze the best track for your project to take. We will also cover the elements and skills needed to deploy hybrid project management and some key examples/case studies by project type/industry.

In this course, you will:

• Understand the benefits and drawbacks of waterfall and agile methodologies and how they benefit projects

• Learn the skills needed to choose and manage projects using hybrid

• Decide which hybrid methods to apply to your project based on key attributes

I built this course for experienced project managers who are new to using hybrid and want to learn the best way to start using it for their projects. I've managed a variety of projects in my career in several diverse industries and the biggest lesson by far for project success is  understanding how and when to tailor the project methodology for success.  It's a matter of finding the right approach - we all know that one size doesn't fit all! Therein lies my passion for hybrid!
