At first glance, the PMI appears a strange partner to work with to create an Agile Practice Guide. Many people see PMI as the source of the plan-driven, big-design-up-front, waterfall-inspired methodology that agile approaches are rebelling against. In truth, the PMI is the source of commonly regarded good practices, which today includes agile approaches.
Since many PMI members were engaged in agile projects and looking for guidance, they turned to the agile community and a partnership with the Agile Alliance was forged to create the new Agile Practice Guide. This experience report describes the recruitment of 7 authors, team formation and development of the new guide since August 2016.
