In this article, we are going to explore Earned Value Management (EVM), a widely used traditional management technique, but we are going to look at it within the context of an Agile domain. Let’s consider an example scenario. A product manager, who works for a large aircraft manufacturing organization in the United States, follows a hybrid model of development and, with his team, releases a new version of aircraft handling software every couple of weeks.

Projects cost money. Being able to manage and track expenses is what keeps the project within a budget. Stakeholders are not likely to consider the project a success if it costs them too much. Remember the triple constraint: cost, scope and time. You have to manage all three, giving and taking from one to the other. The following tutorial video addresses costs, specifically project expenses.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

The Daily Scrum is the heartbeat of Scrum. It's a key inspect and adapt opportunity for the Development Team, encouraging them check their progress towards the Sprint Goal and adjust their plan accordingly. I like to think of the Daily Scrum as an important opportunity for the Development Team to collectively step back from the technical detail of *what* they are doing and focus for a few minutes about *why* they are doing it.

If you have ever taken a course in project management, you may have learned the differences between contingency and management reserves. The former are used to protect project cost or schedule objectives from the impacts of identified, realized risks whereas the latter are used to address the impacts of unidentified risks. Project managers usually have the authority to utilize contingency reserves as identified risks are realized whereas they would normally seek approval from a higher authority

It compiles your project tasks on a timeline and is a great way to organize and control your project.

The foundation of Agility and Scrum is the principle of Empiricism - using what is happening in front of us to learn and adjust what we do next. The building block for empiricism is Transparency - objectively examining what is happening in front of us. Sometimes, different people in the exact same situation might have different experiences and views around what is happening.
