Agile Project Manager Roles and Responsibilities

You, the Agile Project Manager, therefore must be continually vigilant to merit the mantle of leadership: monitoring progress, and keeping a finger on the pulse of the development team. This does not mean hovering and controlling everything – remember, you have established simple rules and must trust in your people and the process. Instead, it means being observant, continuously seeking feedback and monitoring success or failure, and adapting by making changes as situations warrant:

Reinforce the guiding vision at every opportunity – examine project decisions to see whether they line up with the vision.

Continually encourage teamwork and collaboration. Talk to your team members one-on-one as often as possible to keep a pulse on the heartbeat of the project. Watch for signs of stress, rising tempers, fatigue, et cetera, and deal with them quickly. Keep abreast of technology so that you can interpret the tribal language of your software developers.

Establish simple rules, but take every opportunity to conduct process reflections: regularly examine what works and what needs improvement. Act with courage to make changes when you feel they are necessary.

Work relentlessly to break down the barriers to information sharing. Keep apprised of cultural sensitivities, egos, and other such factors that may impinge upon its success. Operate with a light touch. Intervene quickly, but wisely to solve personnel issues. Motivate and reward initiative, but manage expectations. Recognize and encourage self-organization, but disallow cliques.

Accredited Agile Project Manager ™ generally need a bachelor’s degree preferably in project management, or other equivalent level of qualification. Employers typically seek a minimum of three years of professional experience and technical knowledge in project management. Candidates with Accredited Agile Project Manager ™ license are especially attractive.
