Abstract: Agile project management is a simple idea. It is a way to do projects that's flexible and can change as you go. A lot of people use it when they are making software. Other industries are starting to use it too. Agile project management is about working together as a team listening to what the customer thinks and getting things done quickly. It is really good at handling changes. Unlike ways of doing things like the Waterfall method Agile project management is all about being able to change your plans if you need to. It is also about making things all the time and getting things done early. This helps teams deal with changes in the project. One of the things about Agile project management is that it is done in small parts. These small parts are called sprints. At the end of each sprint you have something that actually works and you can show it to the people who're interested in the project. They can then tell you what they think. You can make changes. This means that when the project is finished it will be what the customer wanted. There are some known ways of doing Agile project management like Scrum and Kanban. These give you some rules to follow. They are not too strict. Agile project management also helps people in the team work together better. They have meetings every day. They talk about what they are doing. This means that everyone knows what is going on and they can make decisions. It also means that the customer is always involved and they get what they want. Agile project management is not perfect. One of the problems is that it needs the customer to be involved all the time. If they are not it does not work well. Also if you do not set limits the project can get out of control.
