The Hybrid Manifesto is triggered by my thoughts about the right attitude, values and spirit for successful adoption and excellence of Hybrid project management. I believe, a universally accepted hybrid project manifesto will help project management practitioners to adopt hybrid in the right spirit, than debating endlessly on which project management framework is better.
The Hybrid Manifesto - My version
As practitioners of Hybrid Project Management, We believe that;
All projects are unique in nature. Tailoring the processes to be followed in the project, by incorporating the best from every project management framework is better than aligning with any one framework.
For this; We will continuously update our knowledge and skills without any bias to any one particular school of thought. We will always maintain a non-aligned open view in all our actions.
Is there anything similar already existing?.
Universally accepted Hybrid Project Management manifesto promoted by reputed organizations like PMI, will help principle centered adoption of hybrid. What is your take on this? Saving Changes...
Afterthought. While agile manifesto and principles are tailored to software development, I had to tailor it to explain agility to other disciplines of project management especially EPC projects. Given the fact that hybrid will have larger audience outside software, it may be worthwhile to define one for hybrid.
As a project manager, I prefer to adapt a tool to a new purpose, instead of creating a new tool, when it makes sense to do so. The agile manifesto can be adapted, fairly easily, for non-software product development.
As a little bit of a cynic, I hear "new manifesto for use outside of software development" and I think "new certifications and money-making opportunities for certification providers." If you want to go down this path, find a niche. There are already several approaches for scaling agile across an organization, which goes beyond software development. Then there is business agility. It's not the same thing as agile, and is not an easy market to break into.
You could probably come up with a non-software hybrid manifesto, blog about it, write a book, and speak at PM conferences to build a name for yourself. It might not be industry changing, but it could eventually lead to some interesting contract engagements.
