How can a PM manager effectively integrate Agile Scrum practices with other project management methodologies

I would add "Coach project team". Without understanding the new methodology, project team members can not coorporate smoothly.

Thanks a lot !

You are welcome. By the way, just to comment, long time ago when the agile movement started to have press, I performed conferences inside the PMI World Tour about how Scrum (and other agile based methods) and the PMBOK are fully compatible. At this time there was a lot of controversies in the matter.

Hi Alexandru,
Although your list is spot on, here is a more practical response towards building your solution.

Creating a hybrid of waterfall and agile, that is effective in communicating progress yet allows enough flexibility for the development process is to be agile, is easy to do. Start with the waterfall projects project lifecycle, keeping the Initiation, Planning, and Closing the same, but adjust how you setup and track tasks/milestones in the Execute and Monitoring/Controlling stages.

Within Execute, setup the same Agile epics/features in the project schedule as milestones. The User Stories and Work Tasks should remain in the Agile System, so do not put them in the project schedule.

On a regular cadence, track your actual time applied to the features in the Agile system insert the Feature total hours back into the project schedule Feature. This way you can compare the actual progress to the Feature's baseline and report on how the project is proceeding and against the anticipated milestones. Of course, for any major changes in delivery, make sure you use your Change Management process.

Hope this helps!
