Telecomm Hybrid Project team
Integrated Predictive Project Management & Agile Methods
Hybrid Project
Overall project is governed using predictive project management. Software development piece of project is managed using agile methods.
cordin8 TeamMachines(tm)
The overall project is managed using the Project TeamMachine(tm), but linked with an Agile Program TeamMachine(tm) to manage the agile piece.
The Project TeamMachine(tm) is linked to the Strategy TeamMachine(tm).
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
The overall structure of the project is defined by the work breakdown structure (WBS).
The WBS is a product-, or deliverables, focused.
Work Packages
The lowest level in the WBS structure is called a 'work package'.
Work package definitions include: scope, start/finish dates; effort; cost; assumptions; constraints; risks; stakeholders; and an sequenced, activity list.
Incorporating the agile portion of the project
The agile portion are organized into "iterations" (also called "sprints"). The "features" are managed in the Agile Program TeamMachine(tm).
Dependencies between Agile and Predictive
A dependency can be set between a feature in the Agile Program TeamMachine(tm) and a work package in the Project TeamMachine(tm).
Project Schedules & Costs
Links to project phase schedules
Work Packages
Hierarchical organization of WBS. Work packages are flagged.
Feature Board
The software portion of the hybrid project is managed using agile methods.
"Features" are identified and managed using the Kanban.
Program Board
Features are selected from the Program Backlog and placed into 'iterations' ('sprints') within program increments (PI).
The rows in the Program Board are agile teams. The columns are iterations. The features are placed in the cells.
Managing Dependencies between 'Feature' and 'Work Package'
Add a "dependency' record associated with the "Feature" where a dependency exists between the feature and work package.
Identify the 'dependency owner'.
Notifications
The dependency owner will be notified when updates are made to a dependent feature.
Scrum of Scrums (SoS)
Each team can summarize their daily/weekly status which can be viewed by anyone by click on the 'latest' status link.
Agile Teams

Gantt Chart
The Gantt Chart shows the latest status, or progression of the timeline, including the agile work.
