Agile is a project management methodology\u00a0aimed at rapid development with iterative feedback and communication.\u00a0And while it\u2019s popular with project managers, these methodologies can be applied across an organization\u00a0to make everyone more effective and efficient in their deliveries.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0Agile teams, these concepts are ingrained in their day-to-day activities.\u00a0They use the\u00a0Agile approach of project walls, for example, to improve their response to changing needs or demands \u2013 this can apply to any department within an organization from HR or marketing to IT and customer success.\u00a0By using an\u00a0Agile approach, you can quickly adapt and end up with a more usable and practical output.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Agile methodology is also one of the most accessible\u00a0as it\u2019s less formal and structured compared to other methods of project management. It\u2019s easy for teams to embrace the idea of card walls to track and monitor progress, and it takes very little effort to manage. In addition, stakeholders like that they can understand what\u2019s happening without needing special training around Agile. In fact, for some Kanban is the only Agile method they use to manage all work.<\/p>\n

Easy to Build for All Departments<\/h2>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter what department you work\u00a0for;\u00a0everyone can benefit from the wall of work\u00a0Agile project management provides. Card walls, or walls of work,\u00a0are especially popular because they are very straightforward to\u00a0use and\u00a0can be produced as simply as using sticky notes on a whiteboard.<\/p>\n

Card walls also convey most, if not all, the information one needs to know about a project.\u00a0When using a card wall, anyone within the organization can view it and understand what work is being done.\u00a0The ease of use and broad appeal makes\u00a0Agile project walls a powerful communication and work management tool.<\/p>\n

If your IT department has invested in the right\u00a0IT Service Management (ITSM)<\/a>\u00a0tool with\u00a0Project Portfolio Management (PPM)<\/a> capabilities (like TeamDynamix),\u00a0you can roll out card walls within the tool to others in your organization. With this type of\u00a0Enterprise Service Management (ESM)<\/a>\u00a0departments like marketing can run their communication and content creation projects using card walls.\u00a0Consider the benefits when it comes to executing critical projects including performance review cycles, events and campaigns. Process enhancement techniques can also be applied to eliminate redundancies and help teams work more cohesively while making better use of their time.<\/p>\n
