Traditional embedded project management usually hinges on eliminating change and designing out uncertainty up-front; such an approach is fantasy. Agile Project Management offers solutions to common, persistent problems: poor estimates, slipped timelines, products languishing in an almost-done state, and Gantt charts rarely reflecting reality. Here we discuss: usable definitions of “customer", “feature" and “done"; prioritization; iterations; estimation; burndown charts; documentation; and risk & scope management.
