OMG I have been watching videos and reading articles for hours but all of the material was awfully presented. This video made everything so easy to understand in less than 5 minutes. Thank you so much!!!!
So true! Why doesn't it have more views? LoL I know there aren't a bunch of agile PMs out there but still. Great job for sure @The Digital Project Manager
good explanation, real world implementation will depend on the systems to be deployed, the governance requirements and commercial & contractually binding deliverables.
Thank you. I've learned more in 4 minutes than 1 hour of other videos. I'm trying to get a Scrum Master role but see a lot of Agile Project Management (I have experience in Project Management). I was curious if I should apply so am trying to increase knowledge. Thanks!
Thank you so much!, for this video but more for taking the time to answer us! I really learned a lot about a podcast you recommendded in one of the comments down.
That was a good explanation! Using burgers as an example, would the client need to pay for all the burgers that were part of the trial until reached the last version?
So the agile methodology is broken simple to learning and developing by overlapping risk management, quality management as well as business statistical analysis all together during operating a certain project to have an agile outcome.
Thank you, great explanation. So how do you define a deadline (e.g. launch date for a website) with Agile if you keep making modifications as you go along?
What if we don't have flexible requirements? What if you, for instance, are implementing a standardised protocol? It has to work this one and only way. What happens to the iterative process, delivering value to evaluate?
Thanks for such a great question! We decided to ask it to our community members and received a whole range of answers. Some folks strongly feel that agile is not the solution for everything and might even be detrimental when there’s a high degree of certainty. On the other hand, some folks believe that it can be valuable to add in various elements of agile, such as the way tasks are broken down and the ceremonies. As for our own opinion, we think both are correct in their own ways! But to quote one of our members directly: “there are always uncertainties and issues to navigate no matter how certain anyone thinks a project is.” Hopefully this helps! 💙
Overall yes. But in waterfall methodology because everything is done systematically it’s difficult to adjust the product in later stages, which then causes further delays without having anything to show for your work. Because Agile works iteratively and incrementally, you’re able to make your product and update it based on any new requirements that might show up. With the added benefit of letting the customer have the first iteration of the product while you work on the second iteration.
I don't have this experience but I've done projects in construction. I don't consider myself as pm but would love to apply for dpm jobs in a week. I've got experience but I'm tech idiot. Can I be successful for this job? I kinda lack knowledge but what I'm listening I'm understanding. And where exactly are such projects executed? What app or program? Should I be provided by a company with this or should i make some Excel stuff?
Very nice video. Too bad however every little thing in this world is about how money can be made. Money is what every one needs and Agile is all about making good use of money. Yes?
i love the creative explanation, just one problem, almost nothing about project management as it described a development approach which may or may not be done in a project context. Agile is no longer one thing...if it ever really was. Not surprisingly different adaptations of the Agile Manifesto are, well, different. e.g. project management never has been defined by a life-cycle so iteration cannot be a characteristic of agile PM.
Do you know that you can get PDUs by watching youtube videos? You can watch the videos that is related to the project management and after you complete the Video you can report it under informal learning on the CCR and if your reported claim choosing to be reviewed you need to upload a document with notes summarize what you have watched it for PMI team to review it. You can check this playlist this link: th-cam.com/play/PLgSA-z5XLMJg-j_mVDs73t3UDcWNeJOvy.html and on the completion of this playlist you can claim 13 PDUs, This will refresh your memory if you are certified and will help you prepare for the PMP exam if you are not yet certified.
Heh, yes, this is perhaps where the metaphor falls down. In practice, you wouldn’t start your “burger” from scratch every iteration. You would start with a minimum viable burger, get feedback, then incorporate priority feedback into the next iteration (example: add lettuce). But, if you take the metaphor too far, by the fifth sprint you’d be delivering a half-eaten burger stuffed with new ingredients. I suppose the product in our video is actually the “recipe”. (Most products delivered using an agile approach don’t need to have a bite taken out of them in every review session! #deliciouswastage)
Great question! We aren't too familiar with PDSA but like agile, it appears to be a human-centric collaborative framework with iterative cycles driven by feedback. Agile methodologies like Scrum perhaps go a bit further to have more structure in terms of terminology, ceremonies, and artefacts that help a team get aligned on process almost instantaneously - it’s like speaking the same language. PDSA seems a bit more of an experimentation framework to limit and localize the idea to be validated with intentionality. While it appears to have some core themes in common, it doesn’t seem to be labeled a project management methodology. Hope this helps 💙
I think everything you said is great. But I'm curious why the word "PROJECT" is even *in* this video. When teams are truly agile, we use the skills and techniques you mention, but it's about a product and a never-ending solution that continues to add value as long as it's meaningful to your customers. We'd all be better off not even using the word Project anymore, IMO.
This is not what agile is - not even close!. Each 2-to4 week iteration(i.e. sprint) delivers new features, not fixing bugs, as in this silly burger analogy. Please ignore!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊 You're absolutely right that agile methodologies primarily focus on delivering new features during sprints. The burger analogy was just a simple way to explain the concept that the chef would be adding new toppings according the diner's feedback rather than creating a new burger each iteration. So for instance, adding bacon/pickles/lettuce would be like adding a new shippable feature to the product rather than fixing a bug. We have a more recent video on the topic if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/q3XnHCB7RNQ/w-d-xo.html
Awful choice of metaphore. Have You heard about food cost? This narrow approach to agile is what makes people quickly deliver worthless products with close to none business worth 👍
As a PM instructor, this is one of the best explanations of Agile Project Management I have ever come across.
Anytime you add food to explain something, I always understand!! Thank you!
I know that's right! This is one of the best explanations of this process that I have reviewed!!!
😂 amazing comment
OMG I have been watching videos and reading articles for hours but all of the material was awfully presented. This video made everything so easy to understand in less than 5 minutes. Thank you so much!!!!
Hands down - the BEST explanation of agile!!! Thank you!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a great video. Clear and right to the point thank you.
if you do not count on the matter that you need to turn all the volume up. This is the best video I've ever seen!
Thanks Becca 👍🏽 you are the best teacher in the whole wide world. Could have wished for a better explanation of AGILE.
Awesome! This is the most underrated 4:25 min video on TH-cam
@@thedigitalprojectmanager it helped a lot in class :)
So true! Why doesn't it have more views? LoL I know there aren't a bunch of agile PMs out there but still. Great job for sure @The Digital Project Manager
Wonderful! I have read much but I got all the study placed in my mind after watching this video. Thank you!
Love this! So glad we could help solidify what you've already learned! 💙
I love the outtakes at the end!
good explanation, real world implementation will depend on the systems to be deployed, the governance requirements and commercial & contractually binding deliverables.
This is a great video. Straight to the point
Perfect video. so clean and easy to understand.
Hi @Tech_Traveler! Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped!
Thank you, I enjoyed the video, learned from it, and was able to plan my next meal. Keep up the great work!!!!
This was the best explanation I've seen. Thank you
Wow what a genius this woman is. Great video.
😇💙

We're so glad you found it helpful!
I loved the bloppers so much! :D Video content is amazing. Very simple but greatly effective for teaching and learning.
i see that laugh at the end and i subscribed 😂❤😂
We like to have fun around here 😂 💙
This is the best video I have come across regarding Agile PM explanation. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We're so glad to hear it! 😌💙
Great explanation!! The best explanation I’ve heard so far. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent explanation, creative way of presenting the concept!
Wow, so you do projects in iterations! What brave and great innovations!
With feedbacks?? Why haven't anyone thought of this before??
Thank you so much!, for this video but more for taking the time to answer us! I really learned a lot about a podcast you recommendded in one of the comments down.
wow what a presentation, you made our life easy thank you. short crisp and to the point
Thank you, this video helped me to understand Agile
Reason why I’m searching this out is bc I’m considering a career in IT most likely in cybersecurity
Your explanation was clearly and concisely presented. Thank you!
SUCH A GREAT VIDEO LOVED IT A LOTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Simple and short.. thank you
Easy to follow and understand 👍🏼
Have to send this to tons of people. They're still under the impression that "agile" means "faster"
This is a great video, made perfect sense 😊
Glad it was helpful! 💙
That was a good explanation! Using burgers as an example, would the client need to pay for all the burgers that were part of the trial until reached the last version?
short and concise, thank you.
Excellent video, thanks so much!
✅ Planning
✅ Executing
✅ Evaluating
Very simple and nice explanation to understand...

Excellent!
Good description
Thank you, great explanation.
So how do you define a deadline (e.g. launch date for a website) with Agile if you keep making modifications as you go along?
Great, now where do I get that mushroom burger?
If you're using agile For software development do you need someone from that background or can any one with the knowledge of scrum management do it?
What if we don't have flexible requirements? What if you, for instance, are implementing a standardised protocol? It has to work this one and only way. What happens to the iterative process, delivering value to evaluate?

Thank you
how do you treat change requests in agile? will it be entertained only after the sprint has been finished or while the sprint is ingoing?
It does make a better end product but doesn't this make the time to deliver the end product longer?
Overall yes.
But in waterfall methodology because everything is done systematically it’s difficult to adjust the product in later stages, which then causes further delays without having anything to show for your work.
Because Agile works iteratively and incrementally, you’re able to make your product and update it based on any new requirements that might show up. With the added benefit of letting the customer have the first iteration of the product while you work on the second iteration.

Isnt there a lot of wastage occurring in making burger again and again? in terms of agile Methodology
Heh, yes, this is perhaps where the metaphor falls down. In practice, you wouldn’t start your “burger” from scratch every iteration.

@@thedigitalprojectmanager Thanks much
very good, just the music at the background is too loud, - thanks
Please explain how agile approach can be used in a large construction project such as a hospital? You can't trial and error that.
User review process. It’s an iterative process where say at 30% review customer provides feedback
Thanks !!
Good video
I work as a Digital Project Manager, Managing a team of web designers and developers. Is Agile a good fit, for web creation?
Absolutely, you deliver key features of the website after each sprints.
How does PDSA and agile differ, other than in speed of change?
Great question! We aren't too familiar with PDSA but like agile, it appears to be a human-centric collaborative framework with iterative cycles driven by feedback. Agile methodologies like Scrum perhaps go a bit further to have more structure in terms of terminology, ceremonies, and artefacts that help a team get aligned on process almost instantaneously - it’s like speaking the same language.

While it appears to have some core themes in common, it doesn’t seem to be labeled a project management methodology.
Hope this helps 💙
So, agile is just a way to say "Trail and error"..?
hey, do you have a community to help me practice the methode ?
We do! Check it out here: thedigitalprojectmanager.com/membership/
Agile is another word for micromanagement
I think everything you said is great. But I'm curious why the word "PROJECT" is even *in* this video.

Please get rid of the annoying background music. It’s unbelievable that every agile video I watch has a background music. It’s ANNOYING!!!!!!
You are beautiful!!
could u make music louder next time please
