Narender Bhardwaj PM Consultant| TCS Canada Montreal, Canada
Hello,

I am aligning the projects of a programs under execution by establishing the new procedure, process, standard and generic way of maintaining the documents. So far it was quit unstructured. Due to growing factor of organization and enhancing the portfolio in different sector, it is critical to go in an unstructured way.
I am planing the best way to come out of this -
1) Finalizing the Template for requirement, specification
2) Discussion with architect/team to get their ideas, and suggestions on templates
3) Agile methodology - tasks creation,sprint planning estimation and execution with proper update in Jira. And followed by few more steps of controlling and reporting..

You may suggest some better or easy approach to follow as all the standard (PMP PMO) fundamentals in the beginning will be too heavy for the team and may impact the work, please share your views.

Regards,
Naren

If you are thinking to apply Agile practices (Agile is not about to apply a method) architecture is a must. You have to pay attention to architecture. Then, my recommendation is to use Tom Peter´s Seven S or Zachman Framework to decompose all the functions/procedures and its components to create what I called "LEGO Architectures" and to combine them as you want to anser environmental changes. I am doing that from 1995 up to date in my actual work place too.

Thank you Sergio for suggestions. I had a look on "Tom Peter´s Seven S or Zachman Framework " and it is good to learn about these.

I agree with Sergio.

In simple terms for me, the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK) guide is still a go to home base from which you can extract the necessary components for building your unique project structure template.

With a proper understanding of your scope and access to your organisations process assets and knowledge of enterprise environmental factors, and a means to integrate changes, you have the building blocks to your unique process flow, which you can customize to be easily understood by other team members.

I agree with Sergio & Stanley.

PMBoK should be referred first and your organisation's process assets will help a lot to be used with / without refinement. Agile techniques & tools to be used wherever needed for Backlog creation & Sprint execution.
