Integrating PMBOX Standards, Lean and Agile Methods in Project Management Activities

Abstract

Nowadays, populations are concentrated in large cities exceeding millions of peoples; the need for massive infrastructure constructions and services becomes the priority for governments and local municipality institutions. However, the realization of such projects still problematic and conventional techniques quickly become inadequate. Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) recommendations, Lean and Agile methods have been proposed to facilitate the effective project deployment and organization for minimizing resources, costs, durations and risks. The purpose of this paper is to compare the effect of PMBOK standard, Lean and Agile methods on the project management processes to make tangible profits. It is intended to propose some solutions for organizing the project execution more effectively. The results of this presentation show that PMBOK, Lean and Agile strategies are complimentary and can improve the visibility when performing complex projects..

Identifying the effect of green human resource management practices on lean-agile (LEAGILE) and prioritizing its practices

“…Given the current conditions of the business environment, one of the challenges that organizations face is the need to respond quickly to the different demands and needs of their customers, and agility is a key factor in competitiveness and survival in this changing environment (Alavi and Wahab, 2013). Lean manufacturing and agile manufacturing are neither alike nor complementary, but complementary (Rebaiaia and Vieira, 2014). The results of the studies show that there is no inherent contradiction between the two approaches, but rather the difference between lean and agile manufacturing in the importance that these two criteria give to cost and accountability (Mittal et al , 2017).…”
