Why project management is important
Project management is crucial for clearly defining goals, efficiently deploying resources and realising projects in a structured manner. It minimises risks, ensures quality and creates transparency for everyone involved. Through professional planning and communication, time, budget and expectations are kept in balance. This makes project management the key to successful, timely and cost-effective results – in both traditional and agile projects.
Classic vs. agile project management – which suits your environment?
Classic project management (waterfall model) follows a clearly structured process: Goal definition, planning, implementation, completion. It is particularly suitable for projects with stable requirements, fixed budgets and clear milestones. Methods such as HERMES, IPMA, PRINCE2 or PMI help you to master complexity and manage projects in a predictable way.
Tools such as Microsoft Project support project teams with planning and adhering to milestones when working according to the waterfall model.
Agile project management, on the other hand, is iterative, flexible and team-oriented. It relies on continuous feedback, short development cycles (sprints) and close collaboration with customers. Agile project management is particularly well-suited to dynamic, complex and rapidly changing projects where requirements are not yet fully defined, and where customer proximity and rapid feedback are crucial. Frameworks such as Scrum and SAFe are designed to react quickly to changes, making them ideal for dynamic project environments.
Tools such as Jira and Confluence from the Atlassian Suite support agile working.
