AdaptivePM is responsible for providing the fundamental tools for the governance of the activities related to the development of custom products, managed through a project-based action, making the best use of predictive (waterfall) or adaptive (agile) practices in relation to specific needs.
The attached workflow, AdaptivePM Workflow, fully embraces the 5 canonical phases of project management (inspired by PMIBOK): Start, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Control, Closing, adding that of Post Go-Live and providinga guideline on how to adequately fill each phase with the most appropriate methodological and operational tools.
- Initiation (or Envisioning, the term used in relation to Agile lifecycles): this begins with a feasibility study. If the project is considered valid and feasible, the process continues with defining its scope, identifying objectives, and determining the resources required.
Planning (or Speculate, the term used in relation to Agile lifecycles): this is essential for successfully managing a project, whose specific characteristics are captured in a project plan. - Execution (or Explore, the term used in relation to Agile lifecycles): this is the phase in which the activities and deliverables needed to achieve the project objectives are developed, with the support of the project manager, who monitors the implementation of the plan and ensures the necessary alignment with stakeholders.
- Monitoring & Control (or Adapt, the term used in relation to Agile lifecycles): this phase runs in parallel with execution and closing, and focuses on monitoring the implementation of the plan and managing the necessary alignment with stakeholders.
- Closing: this phase is responsible for finalizing all aspects of the project and enabling the various participants to capture its outcomes, as well as for carrying out a critical review of what happened during its delivery.
- Post Go-Live: this involves providing support for what has been released into production. It is a post-project phase, similar to the initiation phase, which is effectively pre-project, and it is short in duration, typically lasting 3–6 months.(or Envisioning, the term used in relation to Agile lifecycles): this begins with a feasibility study. If the project is considered valid and feasible, the process continues with defining its scope, identifying objectives, and determining the resources required.
