Description
Agile Practice Guide
The Agile Practice Guide is a project management reference created jointly by the Project Management Institute (PMI) and the Agile Alliance. It gives project managers, scrum masters and developers a framework for applying agile, agile-hybrid or predictive models depending on the project. The guide bridges predictive (waterfall) and adaptive (agile) approaches rather than treating them as opposites.
It covers when and how to apply each model, along with tools for building agile team structures, practicing servant leadership, and working through organizational change and common agile pain points. It is often used alongside the PMBOK Guide for PMP certification study.
