Chapter 23. The Iterative SDPM Strategy Summary

We generally need someone to show us things which should be apparent to the eyes of all.

Francisco Algarotti Italian writer and scientist

Chapter Learning Objectives

After reading this chapter, you will be able to:

  • Compare traditional versus agile projects

  • Understand the fundamental differences between traditional and agile project managers

  • Understand the fundamental differences between traditional and agile project teams

  • Compare traditional to agile project planning

  • Know the impact of scope change management on traditional and agile projects

The Iterative SDPM strategy is our first entry into the world of the agilist. To the traditionalist, this is a strange world in that many of the basic premises that their project world is based on do not hold true in the agile world. This closing chapter of Part IV discusses some of those differences in an attempt to morph the thinking of the staunch traditionalists.
