Chapter 20: Case Study – Harvard Pilgrim Health Care
“HPHC developed an incremental and iterative approach – the Scrum framework for an agile transformation across the whole company. All projects associated with this major initiative, called the IT strategy, were, by default, to move to an agile development methodology. The new approach that was developed was a hybrid of Scrum at the team level and a more plan-driven approach at the enterprise level to provide program/project management of the overall effort.
Your adaptive project management framework should answer the following prompt: For the situation/scenario selected, develop an adaptive framework for managing the project that is being tackled. Considering the variety of adaptive techniques and processes that have been utilized for other projects, and the various schools of thought in adaptive project management, what techniques would you integrate into a management framework for the scenario you have selected?
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Introduction:
Scenario: Analyze the situation, givens, and customer requirements from the scenario you selected. Make sure you clearly identify the necessary information (both “knowns and unknowns”) and the project type.
Project Management Approaches: Analyze the key principles and stakeholders behind traditional project management (TPM) and adaptive project management (APM), providing detailed explanation and examples for clarity.
Traditional Project Management (TPM): Describe the key roles and responsibilities of the members of a TPM team and the key elements of traditional project planning, scheduling, and monitoring functions and how the triple constraint is handled in TPM.
Approach Selection: Based on your situation/scenario analysis, and your analysis of the traditional and adaptive management elements, which approach would best serve the project? Be sure to provide a comprehensive defense of your selection that cites specifics from your analysis.
Framework:
Analyze three nontraditional project management frameworks and identify the capabilities and limitations of each.
Determine the most appropriate type of nontraditional framework for your project, providing a thorough defense of your selection.
What aspects from other adaptive management approaches would you find useful for this project? Explain why you either chose to stay within the bounds of the adaptive framework you identified above or chose to incorporate a variety of elements into your own framework.
Framework Design: Synthesize knowledge of APM types to develop a framework to apply to your real-world project situation. You will need to identify any special methods you intend to integrate into the framework type that you selected and explain why you chose to integrate these methods.
Design a logical adaptive project management framework that includes agile and iterative management techniques.
Assess effectiveness of the chosen method of APM for refinement and reutilization. Be sure to defend your claims.
