What is Agile Program Management?​

Agile Program Management is simply the practice of managing, planning, and coordinating across Agile teams. Implementing Agile Program Management provides a structure for teams to:

  • Practice Program Increment (PI)/Quarterly Planning
  • Map dependencies between each other
  • Coordinate and manage how their work gets delivered within the team, across multiple teams and across the entire organization.

Agile Program Management is a key component to successful Agile scaling.

Agile Program Management solves scaling Agile pains

Scaling Agile is the act of taking what skilled, smaller teams of individuals are using to successfully drive product development and expanding the process, the methodologies – and the benefits – across the organization. This is achieved by connecting teams and teams of teams, and then breaking down multi-faceted initiatives into smaller pieces of work to be worked on simultaneously.
