Chapter 7
An Agile Project
In this and the next two chapters, we introduce the agile one-page project manager (OPPM). We will be specifically discussing agile not traditional project management; however, the basic presentation is similar to the traditional OPPM we covered in Chapters 4, 5, and 6. There are five essential parts to an agile project, 12 construction steps to creating an agile OPPM, and seven reporting steps.

The following websites offer more detailed information on the agile method:
- Agile Alliance (www.agilealliance.org): a “nonprofit organization with global membership committed to advancing Agile development principles and practices.”
- ScrumAlliance (www.scrumalliance.org): “a not-for-profit professional membership organization created to share Scrum framework and transform the world of work.”
- The Project Management Institute (www.pmi.org): “the world's leading not-for-profit membership association for the project management profession.”
