Top 5 winning characteristics of Agile project management

If applied correctly, I believe Agile project management has these winning characteristics:

1. Sense of ownership

I think this is the most important mindset in Agile. Self-organizing project teams require a lot of trusts. Each team are responsible for their deliverables.

2. Overlapping development phases

Project is split through various teams. Less dependencies on certain workstreams mean more time spent on initiating solutions and solving problems.

3. It’s not personal, it’s about team performance

The agile method encourages clear communication during team collaboration and transparency during the feedback process. At first, this practice is going to feel awkward for those in less open speaking cultures. However, there are ways to make it less awkward, for example through gamification and a team-building exercise.

4. It’s about people over processes and tools

We are all people on the team. Treat people like people. The aim is to be a high performing team who like the ways of working, and who like the people they work with every day.
