A typical project is divided into several phases and project management aims to plan and control the project correctly. The aim is to limit risks and take advantage of opportunities as they arise, and to achieve project goals qualitatively, on time and within budget.
Overview of project management methods
Traditional project management
This type of project management is based on a linear sequence of phases separated by milestones. It is also known as a waterfall or V-model.
Changes during project execution are avoided as much as possible, as they can trigger complex and costly change requests.
Project management with the software Atlassian Jira Work Management
Our recommendation for traditional project management: Use Jira Work Management from Atlassian as project management software. It allows you to easily manage and organize your teams and projects at a glance. Deviations from the plan can be identified promptly.
Define your own workflow and thus design your own processes that support your team in realizing new projects. Thanks to the supplied boards, you can create interactive tiles that can be moved to the next process step by dragging and dropping.
Agile project management
Agile project management on the other hand is based on a more flexible method. Deliverable building blocks are implemented regularly and next steps will build on each other.
In this context, emphasis is placed on short communication channels, teamwork and continuous process improvement. The employees themselves are given a high degree of personal responsibility.
Agile project management with Atlassian Jira Software
Use Jira Software as a simple and clear platform for your projects. The tool is designed to make it easier for project teams to plan, track and finalize developments.
Each team member always has an accurate overview of which tasks are still to be completed, which have been finished, which are waiting for input or coordination and so forth.
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 or components.
