What is the difference between agile management and traditional project management?

The difference between agile project management and traditional project management lies in different project processes, different project risks, different enterprise management and different project duration. Among them, the difference of project process means that agile project management is very friendly and flexible in the face of market, demand change and technical development, while traditional project management process is not flexible enough.

Traditional project management usually adopts waterfall and partial iterative development mode. Waterfall development refers to dividing the project into n stages, and the work in each stage is carried out on the basis of the previous stage. From the perspective of project planning, it is like a falling waterfall, hence its name. This method is generally used in shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and construction industries.

In the process of project construction, the requirements are clear enough and the documents are standardized enough. The more requirements change in the iterative process, the later the time, the greater the impact on the project, and the higher the cost and quality of project delivery.

Agile project management emphasizes delivering business value as soon as possible, organizing project teams, constantly responding to customers' dynamic needs, and constantly optimizing project products and delivery processes. It simplifies the complicated processes and documents of traditional project management and is a new project management mode.

Scrum represents the change of requirements, welcomes customers to develop available software in a short time, and helps customers describe their requirements when their requirements are unclear. The continuous iteration of the project requirements pool will increase the requirements changes in the iterative process to enrich the product functions of the project.
