Project Management – agile or traditional methods

A typical project is divided into several phases and the aim of project management is to plan and control the project correctly. The aim is to limit risks and utilise any opportunities that arise, as well as to achieve project goals in terms of quality, on time and within budget.

Project management methods

Both traditional and agile project management pursue the goal of completing projects successfully and on time, but focus on different aspects. While the traditional model focuses on a fixed scope, the agile model flexibly utilises the potential of available resources.

Traditional project management

In classic or traditional project management, effort and time are variable while the scope is fixed. This means that projects are plan-driven.
This type of project management is based on a linear sequence of phases separated by milestones. It is also known as the waterfall or V-model.

Changes during project execution are avoided as far as possible, as this can trigger complex and costly change requests.

Agile project management

In agile project management, the approach is business value-driven. This means that effort and time are fixed, while the scope plays a variable role.

Agile project management is based on a more flexible method. Deliverable modules are implemented regularly and the next steps build on them, emphasising short communication channels, teamwork and continuous process improvement. The employees themselves assume a high degree of personal responsibility.

Project management

Our recommendation for traditional project management: Use Jira Work Management from Atlassian as your project management software. It allows you to easily manage and organise your teams and projects at a glance. Deviations from the plan can be identified promptly.

Define your own workflow and design your own processes to support your team in the realisation of new projects. Thanks to the included boards, you can create interactive tiles that can be moved to the next process step using drag-and-drop.

Agile
Project management

Use Jira Software as a simple and clear platform for your projects. The software was developed to make it easier for project teams to plan, track and finalise developments.

Every team member has a precise overview at all times of which tasks still need to be completed, which have been finalised, which are waiting for input or coordination, etc.

Jira Software is often used specifically in the development of software and therefore also offers various tools such as planning sprints, creating releases or defining versions.
