PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH

At Managed Projects, we leverage a hybrid project management approach that blends the best elements of traditional methodologies, like waterfall, with agile techniques. This flexible strategy allows us to adapt our methods to the unique demands of each project, ensuring the highest levels of efficiency and effectiveness.

​

Flexibility

Our hybrid approach enables us to tailor our methodology to different phases of the project. For instance, during the planning and design stages, we often employ a more structured waterfall method to create clear timelines and deliverables. Meanwhile, during the development and testing phases, we shift to agile practices to accommodate iterative feedback and adjustments. This adaptability is crucial to addressing the evolving needs of IT projects.

Risk Management

By integrating both agile and traditional approaches, we offer enhanced risk management. Waterfall's detailed upfront planning helps us identify risks early on, while agile’s iterative framework allows for continuous assessment and the ability to respond swiftly to changing conditions or unexpected challenges.

 

Balanced Planning and Execution

At Managed Projects, we believe in combining thorough planning with dynamic execution. Waterfall’s structured approach helps ensure that our team and stakeholders are aligned on objectives and deliverables, while agile’s iterative nature allows us to remain flexible, providing feedback loops that improve project outcomes.

 

Improved Stakeholder Satisfaction

Our hybrid approach keeps stakeholders engaged throughout the project lifecycle. With agile’s emphasis on regular communication and waterfall’s clear progress tracking, we maintain transparency and ensure that stakeholders are consistently informed and satisfied with the project’s direction.

 

Customization to Project Needs

Every project is different, and our hybrid model allows us to tailor our management style to meet specific project needs, whether it’s focused on speed, quality, or adaptability. We prioritize the methodologies that best align with the complexity, scope, and industry of each project.

 

Scalability

For smaller, nimble projects, agile might be the best fit. However, for larger, more complex projects, the structured nature of waterfall proves invaluable. Our hybrid approach allows us to scale effectively, balancing agility with structure as required.

​

Faster Delivery with Quality Assurance

We combine the rapid prototyping and feedback loops of agile with waterfall’s thorough documentation and quality assurance processes. This ensures we deliver functional solutions quickly while maintaining high standards of quality and reliability.

 

Team Collaboration and Productivity

Agile’s emphasis on collaboration and iterative problem-solving fosters better teamwork, while waterfall’s structured goals provide clarity. By integrating both, we ensure our teams work productively and cohesively toward well-defined objectives.

At Managed Projects, this hybrid approach works particularly well in managing diverse teams and projects, especially when requirements or conditions are expected to evolve. It provides the flexibility and control needed to consistently deliver successful IT projects.
