Agile project management is different from traditional project management. Whilst the latter focuses on defining the layout and functions of a project fully on project initiation, the former defines the time and cost of the project and focuses on prioritising requirements and stakeholder engagement and delivers in iterative increments. In Agile project management, the scope of the project can be adapted and adjusted. If the market or stakeholder expectations change, these are taken into account and necessary adjustments are made quickly. The emphasis of Agile project management is on creating fit for purpose products, strategic alignment and customer collaboration. The progress of the project is checked constantly and where necessary, workflows are adjusted. The members of the project team are highly skilled and self-organising, interpreting user stories to produce deliverables in sprints or timeboxes.
