An Agile Project Manager should have as a reference in his/her daily work the role of agile practitioner outlined by PMI®. In the text that PMI® uses to specify the PMI-ACP® exam, 7 domains are described that summarize the main areas of responsibility of the Agile Project Manager.
Explore, foster and apply agile principles in the context of the project team and organization.
Deliver value outcomes by producing reviewable, high-value incremental deliverables early and often based on stakeholder priorities. Engage stakeholders in providing feedback on these deliverables to prioritize and improve future incremental deliveries.
Manage the involvement of current and future stakeholders by creating an environment of trust that allows their needs and expectations to be aligned and their requests to be balanced by their understanding of the cost/effort involved. Promote participation and collaboration throughout the project lifecycle and provide the tools for effective and informed decision-making.
Create an environment of trust, learning, collaboration and conflict resolution that fosters team self-organization, improves relationships between team members and cultivates a high-performance culture.
Produce and maintain a plan that evolves from inception to closure, based on objectives, value, risks, constraints, stakeholder feedback, and review of findings.
Continually identify problems, impediments, and risks. Prioritize and resolve them in a timely manner. Monitor and communicate the status of problem resolution and implement process improvements to prevent reoccurrence.
