Drum roll, please!!
For the past year, we have shared with you that the Agile Practice Guide being jointly developed by volunteers from Agile Alliance® and Project Management Institute (PMI) was coming. Both organizations have officially announced that the Practice Guide is available for no-charge download for their members from their respective web sites. In fact, PMI has bundled the Agile Practice Guide with the release of the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition. The bundled publications provide practitioners with good practices for managing projects across the full spectrum of project life cycles.
Some stakeholders have shared early feedback on the Practice Guide. One reviewer conceded the Practice Guide was a step in the right direction, and followed with specific critiques and suggestions to improve it. Another user shared that his organization used the Agile Suitability Filter Tool in the Practice Guide to have a frank conversation with a client about the best approach for managing the contracted project. As you know, customer feedback is critical for enhanced development and value delivery, so please don’t be shy – tell us what you think!
You can post your stories, reactions or questions here at this blog. If you do not want to share information publicly, please feel free to write to me at [email protected]. My colleague Karl Best and I are collecting feedback, stories and additional information to share with a future Practice Guide update team.
And don’t forget that Practice Guide team members will be at several upcoming events where you can network with them in person, including:
- Mike Griffiths and Jesse Fewell at the PMI Global Conference, 28-31 October, Chicago, Illinois, USA
- Jesse Fewell at PMI SeminarsWorld™, 31 October -1 November, Chicago, Illinois, USA
- Mike Griffiths at the PMI PMO Symposium, 5-8 November, Houston, Texas, USA
- Mike Griffiths at the Dubai International Project Forum, 18-21 November, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Hi,
I have a quation on Chapter 3 Life Cycle Selection. Why on fgures 3-2 (Predictive Life Cycle), figure 3-3 (IterativeLife Cycle) and Figure 3-4 (Incremental Life Cycle) don't have 'Requirement' phase, while in figure 3-5 (Agile Life Cycle) has that phase?
Thank you.

@ Mr. Sachlani, this is a good question.
As I go through these figures it seems to me that 'Analyze' in the figures 3-1 to 3-4 is a short form of 'Requirements Analysis'. To make it clear I recommend for the next update of this document to unify these terms.

Dear Mr. Sachlani and Mr. Spiegel:
You both make great comments. The graphics should be consistent and to Mr. Spiegel's point, perhaps "requirements" and "analysis" need to be combined. I have captured your feedback as inputs for the team that will work on the next edition of the Practice Guide.
Thanks very much for your review of the Practice Guide and for sharing your feedback with the community!
Regards,
Steve Townsend, PMI Director of Network Programs

Dear Mr. Ureel:
My apologies for the delay in responding to your May question about the hurricane chart reference in the Agile Practice Guide.
Hurricane style charts, also sometimes referred to as tornado charts, are used for sensitivity analysis. Figure 11-14 in the PMBOK(R) Guide - Sixth Edition contains an example of a Tornado Diagram. The preceding text describes the use of sensitivity analysis tools when performing quantitative risk analyses.
I hope that this information is helpful and apologize again for the delay in responding to your query.
Regards,
Stephen Townsend, PMI Director of Network Programs

Dear Stephen
Interesting this your request for feedback
Thanks for sharing
The important thing is that companies and organizations are fast, flexible and adaptable to the satisfaction of the wants and needs in the market.
Whether they use a predictive, hybrid or adaptive approach is a choice they make to deliver customer value.
Sharing the Agile Practice Guide was a support we all had from PMI

Just finished reading through the entire Practice Guide. The layout is great and the data is concise yet extremely packed with information. Very nice presentation of what could have been confusing. Great job on all who contributed!
