In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Johanna Rothman and Mike Grifiths about the joint PMI & Agile Alliance initiative to produce the Agile Practice Guide.

Why listen to this podcast:

- There is nothing in the PMBOK that says you have to use a waterfall project delivery model

- If we want to influence the people who hold the hearts and minds of senior management, there is no better way than to collaborate with them

- The guide reflects the State of the Practice when it was written

- The prevalence of agile terms in projects, without actually using agile approaches – the veneer of agile without the substance

- Defining agile as a mindset based on values and principles rather than any set of practices

- There are many options for undertaking work; the key is to have an agile mindset about which practices are most appropriate in a particular context and be prepared to change if the chosen practices are not helpful
