What is Modern Project Management<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern project management leverages automated tools to help plan, execute, and organize work. It is more flexible than the traditional project management method. More professional service businesses are taking on short-term or even one-time projects, so businesses are looking for alternative to the traditional project management method. This is where the modern project management method flourishes \u2013 It flourishes in a fast-paced environment that can handle mid-project changes swiftly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages of Modern Project management<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. You can juggle more projects at once<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. It minimizes risk and human error<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. It allows you to be more flexible with your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between Waterfall and Agile methodology?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Waterfall methodology, you need to gather requirements, plan each step of your product development, and complete them without circling back. In Agile, you have more freedom to start with undefined requirements and resources, make changes in your plans, and deliver your project incrementally rather than as a whole. The main differences between these two can be seen in four different areas: Planning processes and phases; Product delivery; Customer collaboration and Responding to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which methodology should you use?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should choose your methodology based on their principles and your business requirements. Waterfall is a kind of methodology that lays great emphasis on rigorous planning (functional requirements, deliverables, features, deadlines, costs and so on) and modelling before implementing. It is best for projects that have a clear description and scope. Agile is a kind of methodology or approach that delivers the product incrementally and iteratively. It is best for projects where your organization is responsible for the whole process, projects with scope for changing requirements, larger, undefined, complex projects, projects with an involved client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, you might need to choose a hybrid approach rather than stick with a single methodology. For example, you might need to define some requirements before the project begins to align your goals with your clients while leaving detailed planning to different iterations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Zoho suite Approach?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoho has two project management tools namely Zoho Projects and Zoho Sprints which helps your business manage work efficiently. Zoho Projects follows the traditional waterfall methodology to manage your projects. It is a streamlined process where each stage of progress is accomplished following its previous stage. You cannot iterate the process in the middle and if there are any issues you end up repeating the entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your team is comfortable in delivering outcomes after different iterations, then choose Zoho Sprints. It is the agile project management tool that helps your team deliver outcomes in periodic cycle called Sprints. Here, you can review the ongoing process and adapt to changes in the middle of the sprint. If your team is flexible to change then choosing an agile methodology would be the perfect choice and if you need a hybrid approach of both Waterfall and Agile methodology, you can get both Zoho Projects and Zoho Sprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
