Here's another attempt to put some structure into what some authors are calling PM 2.0
I'll start with a simple list of what activities take place during a project. PMI calls these Knowledge Areas. This means knowledge of "what" to do is needed to increase the probability of success of the project.I'm not the biggest fan of PMI, but I am a member and the Knowledge Areas are a good starting point for shared vocabulary.
I've learned that without a shared vocabulary the conversation is hard to have. So here's PMI's simple vocabulary about what happens during a project. These are not product development verbs, they are project management verbs.
With this stating point - it's a starting point, but I can't think of a simpler one for this post - what are the activities performed which managing a project in the Traditional, Agile, and PM 2.0 paradigms.By activities I mean, what does the project manager and the technical teams do while working the project that is independent of the engineering processes - writing code, welding metal, pouring concrete.
Several colleagues and I have tried to make a run at this. The topic of "what is project management" outside of the PMI paradigm has been talked about before. Here's my rough cut for the traditional processes.
