Agile Project Management Vs Traditional Project Management

Project management has become an essential part of our fast-paced world. It has become the indispensable element for running businesses smoothly. From small and medium to large scale, every business size depends on project management to successfully deliver their products and service.

In recent times, there are multiple project management approaches available all around the world. And, agile is one of the most popular project management approaches among all. Even 71% of companies agreed on using agile practices often, sometimes, and always.

In this article, let’s explore more on the differences between traditional and agile project management to see what sets them apart from each other. So, without further ado, read on!

What is Traditional Project Management

Traditional project management focuses on the linear approach. In the agile world, this project management approach is often known as the “waterfall approach.” In the traditional method, all the project phases are completed in sequential order. This rigid, top-down approach contains some fixed stages, such as plan, design, build, testing, user acceptance, deployment, release, etc. Unlike agile, traditional project management plans everything beforehand and not empirically.

In this approach, requirements are fixed, and budget and time get agreed on earlier. For this reason, teams often face budget and timeline problems with this approach. You can’t use traditional project management to develop complex products, as this approach leaves no room for changing the requirements. However, studies suggested that the waterfall or traditional approach’s failure rate is nearly 21% while the agile failure rate is 8%.
