In my opinion, Risk Management is one of the most neglected topics in Agile Projects. In an earlier article, I showed you why Risk Management is also necessary for Agile projects. In this article, you will learn how to implement Risk Management in Agile projects, and what you need to pay attention to. Every Scrum Master, […]
A project without risks and problems exists as little as a life without death, because projects are by definition risky and associated with problems – and this is also the case with agile projects. With risk and problem management, project management offers effective tools for meeting these “challenges”. However, I notice repeatedly that the difference […]
Project risks are often ignored, and this issue extends beyond projects to larger, catastrophic events. On March 11, 2011, an earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, triggering a triple core meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Over six years later, former top managers of Tepco, the plant’s operator, stood before a criminal court for […]

In this and the next article you will get an overview of how project control is carried out in agile projects. This article shows you […]
The risk matrix is one of the best-known elements in risk management because it is simple and gives a quick overview of the risk situation of your project. However, many users are unaware of the special characteristics of the risk matrix and therefore do not take full advantage of it. Perhaps you will find one […]
Agile is a hot topic in the business world, and the prevailing belief is that everything should be agile today to help us become faster and better. However, many people don’t fully understand what it truly means to “be agile” or how Agile Project Management has evolved. Does agility genuinely propel our business world forward, […]
