The standard for project management

  

Appendix X3

X3.2 OVERVIEW OF THE MODEL

Organizational and project attributes are assessed under three main categories:

u

u

Culture.

 Is there a supportive environment with buy-in for the approach and trust in the team?

u

u

Team.

 Is the team of a suitable size to be successful in adopting agile, do its members have the necessary 

experience and access to business representatives to be successful?

u

u

Project.

 Are there high rates of change? Is incremental delivery possible? How critical is the project?

Questions in each of these categories are answered and the results plotted on a radar chart. Clusters of values 

around the center of the chart indicate a good fit for agile approaches. Results around the outside indicate a predictive 

approach may be more suitable. Values in the middle portion (between agile and predictive) indicate a hybrid approach 

could work well. An example is shown in Figure X3-1.
