Agile Program Management: Moving from Principles to Practice

by Glen B. Alleman

Every segment of industry and government is under pressure to reduce cost, increase quality, and deliver value to owners, customers, and constituents. The IT community is no exception. CIOs, product managers, and operational leaders are expected to provide solutions that address these improvement initiatives in the presence of a constant, rapid, and unpredictably changing environment. These initiatives result in a mandate to deliver best value IT products and services -- on time and on cost -- that meet emerging business, regulatory, and technology requirements. The processes used to place IT systems into operation must meet or exceed the strategic objectives of the enterprise and must do so in the presence of ever increasing uncertainty. Research shows that most IT project problems are related to managerial, organizational, and cultural issues, not technical problems [22, 23].
