Finding the best workflow for you can take a lot of trial or error, or you can stumble upon it within an existing corporate culture. This week I&#8217;m going to talk about one method for project management and how it can apply to learning design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Agile?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yes, I am. Why thank you! Wakka wakka! The general logic behind the concept of &#8216;agile&#8217; is that your workflow or project is managed in such a way that it is organic and adaptive. But most importantly (from my perspective) is that the project management is efficient.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While this approach may not work for all clients or projects (I&#8217;m shouting out those clients who like to change their minds 32489234932 times and scope creep like a boss&#8230;unintentionally of course), it can be a very effective approach for many industries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I was first introduced to agile project management from a software development and programming standpoint. At the time, it seemed like a very chaotic way of running a project, but if decisions are properly documented (or documented at all), it can prove incredibly efficient.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What elements are considered agile?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Speed &#8211; with an agile workflow, projects tend to move more quickly and efficiently as milestones are not as bogged down by lengthy approval processes as other workflow approaches.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Reduce, reuse, recycle &#8211; This concept works extremely well at making large projects more efficient. Especially those projects where materials are often reused. For example, a 3D model of an aircraft can be repurposed for almost any component being discussed during aircraft (the specific aircraft of course) training as opposed to having to create a new 3D model for each component.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Rapid prototyping &#8211; Developing as the project goes instead of waiting on storyboard approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone has their methods for project or workflow management, and each method undoubtedly has their merits.
