The idea was that big projects cannot be planned entirely because changes would occur in between and to cope with these occurrences, alternative approaches had to be found. Some of the most common methodologies are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/develop-software-products-scrum-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Scrum<\/span><\/a>, Kanban and Extreme Programming.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/agile-project-management-powerpoint-presentation.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1557\" height=\"876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/agile-project-management-powerpoint-presentation.png\" alt=\"agile project management powerpoint presentation\" class=\"wp-image-5582\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/agile-project-management-powerpoint-presentation.png 1557w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/agile-project-management-powerpoint-presentation-450x253.png 450w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/agile-project-management-powerpoint-presentation-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/agile-project-management-powerpoint-presentation-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/agile-project-management-powerpoint-presentation-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1557px) 100vw, 1557px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The important difference is that agile management is iterative and incremental. This means that projects are divided in shorter periods which shall not last longer than four weeks. During this time, every team works independently toward a goal which has been set at the beginning. At the end of one period there should be a finished increment (preliminary version) that can be presented to the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5577_813c4f-f4 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5577_813c4f-f4 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-5577_813c4f-f4\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This approach offers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A fast implementation of desired changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quick solutions for unexpected changes and problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not much effort to make adjustments and changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially when changes need to be made, it can cause great difficulties and agile project management prepares for these difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5577_1993a2-3e .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-5577_1993a2-3e .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-5577_1993a2-3e\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agile Marketing for Public Relations Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/powerpoint-agile-marketing-definition.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1570\" height=\"882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/powerpoint-agile-marketing-definition.png\" alt=\"powerpoint agile marketing definition\" class=\"wp-image-5583\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpoint-agile-marketing-definition.png 1570w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpoint-agile-marketing-definition-450x253.png 450w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpoint-agile-marketing-definition-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpoint-agile-marketing-definition-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpoint-agile-marketing-definition-1536x863.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1570px) 100vw, 1570px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Besides product development and process optimization, agile approaches have been also adapted to sectors such as marketing.
