Description
Energy transition, new technologies, First-of-its-kind (FOIK) projects, new types of clients and investors, geo-political turmoil increasingly create uncertainty and complexity for employers, investors and contractors.
In these VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) conditions, agile project management can offer superior adaptability and responsiveness. Agile methods empower teams to swiftly navigate changes, mitigate risks, and deliver high-value outcomes, making them an ideal choice for managing dynamic and unpredictable projects. However, systems and work processes in contractor organisations are geared to traditional and predictive project management, which may conflict with a more dynamic approach.
This course explains when to use each method and how to combine them effectively.
Sessions include
- Waterfall vs Agile
- Stacey Matrix and Cynefin framework
- Agile mindset, values and principles
- Customer/Product-centred thinking
- Scrum method
- Scrum vs Kanban
- Hybrid approaches
- Case scenarios from energy transition and different industries
Our course dives into the core principles of Agile project management and helps you discover how current environmental drivers favour Agile methodologies. It will provide a thorough contrast between classic Waterfall and Agile methodologies, exploring hybrid approaches that blend the best of both worlds. You will learn more about Scrum and Kanban methods, learning when to apply Agile or traditional approaches effectively.
Additionally, we will address individual and organisational barriers to implementing Agile in the E&C industry, ensuring you are equipped to make informed choices to leverage the best of both worlds.
