AgilePM: Agile Project Management (DSDM) - "How to" use it from Pre to Post Project

For the full accredited on-line course by me - bit.ly/AgilePMeLearning
This is a 1 hour video taking you through the DSDM AgilePM methodology via its LifeCycle and includes the documentation advised, the roles as applicable and the techniques used at various timeframes, like Timeboxing, Iterative Development, Estimating and of course Prioritization (MoSCoW) to name just a few.
The video also showcases the style I use for running my courses, that is I use a whiteboaard and draw throughout, NO SLIDES.
I explain the "How to" of AgilePM, for you to understand the Why, What and How of the approach and ultimately the "How to" use it so that you will be able to apply AgilePM effectively.

Hi Agnieszka You are most welcome and thanks for the comments, much appreciated :-) regards Antony

[@mikecooke5079]

Brilliant. This is an excellent introduction to AgilePM and DSDM.

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hi Mike Thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Just loaded one for the new MSP as well!! regards Antony

[@pavsandhu1252]

Thank you so much . I attended the Foundation and Practitioner course last week however much of it didn't make sense, but having watched your videos I'm starting to feel confident when I sit my exams next week. Clear and concise, really helped in understanding the various phases, what is completed in each, and when the products are produced.

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hi Pav Thank you for your comments nad feedback and pleased to read that the video was helpfulk to your understanding and grasping of the framework. That was my aim!! Do use the practice papers to help as well for a better undersanding of how to look at the questions. These are found under the four Playlists There are a number of other videos on my channel that explain some of the techniques and elements in more detail, so do watch them. regardfs Antony

[@tundelovestyan4080]

Great summary of the DSDM lifecycle and products (documents). I would recommend not only for those who are before their AgilePM DSDM training but also as part of the preparation for the exam to put all the puzzle pieces together. Excellent overview. Thanks, Anthony.

[@TheSustainablePM]

Tünde You are most welcome, especially as knowing that it has helped! regards Antony

[@timdeboerz]

Really handy refresher on the method. Been several years since I last used DSDM. Played this at high speed and within 40 or so minutes I'm back in touch at a high level. At ground zero all agile goes back to heart of agile so this helicopter view of some of the surrounding and necessary (sorry purists) governance mechanisms was really good.

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hi Timothy That's the beauty of the video, that one can run at whatever speed suits, rewind and review time and again as needed! Pleased to know it helped review and remind! Do have a look, if you have not already, at the other videos on this channel. Some directly linked to AgilePM others more generic for projects in general. I am about to release a booklet on using AgilePM at the same level in the same vein as the video, to accompany the video. I will post a blanket message for all visitors and subscribers. ciao Antony

[@310888NIVEH]

one of the best presentation I have come across. Thank you very much for making such a good video.

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hello Hevin I am really pleased you enjoyed the video and thank you for your kind comments - makes it worthwhile! regards Antony PS: Note that I now offer a fully accredited eLearning course for this approach - see the description for the link!

[@lloyddavies2166]

Absolutely brilliant 👏 Thanks Antony Great video helped me pass my exam 😉

[@pinarpreston7867]

Very good presentation, made it so easy to understand the Products. Thank you.

[@hemantarora1693]

Very good overview. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hello Hemant Appreciate your feedback, thank you. have you seen the other videos on this channel and also have you subscribed yet :-) ? I take you plan to follow the course and sit the exams. If you are, keep in contact as on this channel is a full review of the full Practitioner Practice paper in 4 playlists, one for each syllabus area. ciao Antony

[@dandydannny]

Thank you for this, having read the Handbook twice and going through other course material, I needed something like this to refresh everything step by step in one go. The flow of your delivery is absolutely brilliant. You should get your material on LinkedIn Learning as well so that it is available to larger audience. I couldn't find anything noteworthy on LinkedIn Learning regarding DSDM. (just a suggestion)

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hi Ahmad Thank you for your very positive comments and happy to read the video worked so well for you. I have thought about LL, just not sure about the audience!!!! It is big... not just in numbers :-) I do have a complete PM course on another platform, the link is on the bottom right of my banner on the landing page of this channel. There are also short courses on topics such as Planning and Governance. All video based just as this AgilePM lifecycle is, in case you are interested. regards antony

[@dandydannny]

@@TheSustainablePM I have registered an account on your website, and will definitely go through the content you have available there, I found your channel just 2 days before I had to sit my exam for AgilePM Practitioner and I have to say your videos helped a lot in tackling the exam questions. Passed the exam btw :) so Thank you again!

[@giorgioc8263]

which agile certification do you recommend for someone who's coming for traditional waterfall background?

[@antdp2315]

Hi Giorgio If by "waterfall", (which, btw, in my opinion and others, does NOT exist as such 😀), you mean traditional project methodology, the only other to AgilePM being PRINCE2, then this one provides a better understanding of what it is to take an "agile" approach. In reality, it's in the mind. It's how you interpret the approach and apply it. Note also that every project is unique so then is the approach. Build the toolkit of techniques etc and use whatever the initiative needs to deliver it. No such thing as a standard approach, "one size fits all". Watch the video on this channel that explains the relationship between standard, P2 and AgilePM methods.

[@TheSustainablePM]

Giorgio Note that I have a full accredited e-learning course that is delivered in the same fashion as this 1 hr video Follow the link below bit.ly/AgilePMeLearning You can enrol for free to start to view a couple of lessons and if that is what you like then you can enrol with the fee for the full course!!! Hope to see you there! regards Antony

[@TheXander008]

The video was great up until a big block covered the entirety of your blackboard around 10:00 Is there any way of getting rid of it?

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hi Yes, if you read the notes I direct you to another platform, Thinkific, where you can enrol for free and watch the whole video. Needed to do this to move away from YT. Hope to see you there 😉 Regards Antony

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hi Yes, it is - there is a link in the comments to redirect you to another platform where you can watch it all unhindered. I did put a comment directly on the blur to be more evident!!! Maybe worth still doing that. Please follow this link to see the full version, and another on the other know framework!!! bit.ly/The-AgilePM-Lifecycle regards Antony

[@simonroyle2806]

The Australian pronunciation of "Prowject" is a bit wearing!

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hi Simon, I hope you found the video helpful besides that. In fact the word is two syllables "pro" and "ject" and not sure why you think it is Australia :-)

[@simonroyle2806]

@@TheSustainablePM . Ha Ha. The content is really good thanks for posting it.

[@Tes_1]

I'm with Simon, good content and informative which is the main thing. But that's definitely the wrong way to pronounce Project, unless you are speaking American English?

[@TheSustainablePM]

Noooo, see note above. I am British and my diction is as such. The word has TWO syllables, "pro" and "ject" pro is just that, as in pro fession al, pro fuse ly, pro noun and so on... :-) And thanks for the good feedback and positve comments on the content!!! And note there is the noun Project, emphasis on "Pro", then the verb, emphasis on "ject"

[@Tes_1]

@@TheSustainablePM I guess most that speak the queen's English, the Oxford English dictionary and Collins English dictionary online with pronunciation are wrong? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIK3opetfc6Uqpo :-)

[@jaroslawmilewski4571]

There is relatively little agility in the so-called AgilePM. Antony makes every effort to convince us this quotient is close to zero.

[@TheSustainablePM]

That depends on "your" definition of agile/agility 😀

[@TheSustainablePM]

oh, and BTW, I am explaining the DSDM framework AgilePM, I am.not defining agile, that's in another video

[@jaroslawmilewski4571]

@@TheSustainablePM Fair enough

[@tobyrice.motorcycle]

After spending all that time building documentation, your competitors are already putting stuff in the market...write less, deliver more.

[@TheSustainablePM]

Hi Filipe I think I get your post, however, would you explain a little more for all to benefit? Thanks ciao Antony

[@TheSustainablePM]

Document only as needed - the point here was to note the "information" needed in a project, PLAN is very useful, Planning vital - see the artcile on Plans and PLanning on PMTips.net. Never wrote or said one has to use everything, all the time, all the detail - just what is sensbile, relevant and useful.

[@robmail2008]

Please advise where I can find the more detailed notes. Many thanks for this.

[@olowoporoku1000]

What if you are building an Internal product with internal customers? then DSDM is the perfect framework. there is no time to market pressures or any external competitors to worry about
