Getting you started with Agile Project Management

The past year exploded the concept of a set work schedule.

Many professionals today wear multiple hats.

That means juggling Zoom calls with endless requests for PB sandwiches from hungry kids, keeping the dog from barking or cat off the keyboard, and managing home renovations — all while converting a bedroom closet into an officeAt BasicOps, our team members begin their workday when it makes sense for them — barring a morning meeting or an impending deadline — and likewise, they finish when it makes sense for them.

As an employer, it’s our job to set our teams up for success by taking advantage of project workflow applications or scheduling regular check-ins with staff, both of which can help maintain accountability without losing momentum.Let’s dive into all the ways you can ditch set work hours without compromising productivity and output.

Agile methodology can increase the chances of any project to succeed by focusing on continuous product improvement through a large number of sprints and releases.

This is an approach to project management according to which all bureaucratic aspects are cut off.

The focus is on improving the product quality and its customer value.
