Questions on the day How does Agile work for Regulatory or Quality - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Questions on the day • How does Agile work for Regulatory or Quality driven projects? – The product becomes a solution and the team works towards a minimum viable solution. – The product/solution owner needs to ensure liaison with the regulatory body happens and that the regulatory body is treated as a main stakeholder – The agile concept of never compromising on quality of delivery sits well with regulatory driven projects: peer review, regular review from all stakeholders and adaptation to change makes Agile a good fit for those types of projects. • What are the challenges that you get from traditional project management cultures? – It takes time to break down beliefs and structures – Setting up a pilot will help demonstrate the benefits – Demonstrate success convinces people – Get the people using the methodology to promote the concept from inside the teams • How do you ensure prioritisation of projects through Agile? – Inability to prioritise is one of the reason for business structure break down – Agile shows the bad news on a project really early, which gives good information to management to support strategic decision making – There is a need to ring fence the resources in Agile to enable a project to happen, if too many projects are going on at the same time calling on the same resources, they will all deliver sub- optimally. – What is needed is a good portfolio of project and really good strategy planning based on what business value will be delivered by each project, prioritising on this will help.
