- 2. Agile Project Management and PRINCE2® In Projects Agile Project Management and PRINCE2® In Projects Case Study on Using AgilePM in a PRINCE2 Project This presentation will be taking a look at a project where “Agile Project Management” and PRINCE2 methods of project delivery were successfully employed together. The project was for the delivery a new bandwidth usage protocol configuration onto a Bank’s National Network to enable Application bandwidth prioritization usage as the new applications, and hence teller system, was being moved to Java functionality.

The Project A Bank Network Upgrade • • • • • • • Part of bank teller system replacement programme to employ Java based applications Network to introduce QoS (Quality of Service) banding – Gold for high demand applications (40% b/w) – Silver for general demand applications (next 30%) – Bronze – backoffice applications (20% b/w) QoS was a new concept indicating that the required solution to Prioritize traffic would have to evolve Scope was two years old so requirements would have to be reviewed as well as equipment Proof of Concept (PoC)facilities no longer available from the incoming Telco (Optus)so alternative had to be sourced PoC was allocated one (1) month to complete defining, testing and piloting the Gold, Silver and, as Could, Bronze. Estimates for Effort would be broad as new functionality and no known active solution for this type of network PRINCE2® ® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Cabinet Office The APMG Swirl Agile Project Management Device is a Trade Mark of APM Group Ltd.

- 10. SU and Stages 1-2 – PRINCE2 - Detail • Starting Up a Project: document and sign-off Project Brief and Approach - Use a hybrid of methodology using PRINCE2 and Agile • Initiating a Project: Usual IP activities and preparing Stage 2 , planning the project to engage both delivery approaches: Agile for the PoC and PRINCE2 for the main rollout and overall Organisation and governance mapping for Roles and Responsibilities • Stage 2 o Review current scope (2 years old at this point) o Define resource requirements (original Proof of Concept facilities no longer valid) o Define Approach for PoC delivery (AgilePM) for Stage 3 o Plan Stage 3 - AgilePM Feasibility/Foundations and then move into first Development Phase (Exploration and Engineering Timeboxes) PRINCE2® ® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Cabinet Office The APMG Swirl Agile Project Management Device is a Trade Mark of APM Group Ltd.
- 11. Stage 3 – AgilePM managed Increment (P2 stage) HighLevel • Stage 3 – (APM) Define and Develop requirements for technical solution, deploy 1st and 2nd Pilots to check initial design PRINCE2® ® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Cabinet Office The APMG Swirl Agile Project Management Device is a Trade Mark of APM Group Ltd.
- 12. Stage 3 – AgilePM Development Phase • • • • Use Feasibility/Foundations to define and prioritize the requirements to be delivered over how many increments. Approach was to build the “Gold” application configuration requirements during the 1st increment and deploy into the 1st Pilot Feedback on the 1st Pilot (HeadOffice branch) was fed back to 2nd Timebox for further refinement 2nd Pilot used for checking Telco configurations and hence full “Gold” function PRINCE2® ® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Cabinet Office The APMG Swirl Agile Project Management Device is a Trade Mark of APM Group Ltd.

- 19. Summary of Presentation • PRINCE2 and Atern AgilePM can be used to deliver projects of varying delivery requirements and needs • Most projects are probably in reality managed this way • There are some direct correlations between the processes/phases of both methodologies • Not necessary to marry these up directly, more important to know and understand how each can be best employed for each project PRINCE2® ® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Cabinet Office The APMG Swirl Agile Project Management Device is a Trade Mark of APM Group Ltd.
