Abstract

I often start my agile project management classes by asking students what they think of when they read or hear “agile” (I always think of a cheetah). Students typically respond with “fast, nimble, flexible, responsive.” I mention the cheetah in the context of chasing a gazelle: The cheetah’s goal is the gazelle, which is constantly moving and changing direction – much like the requirements and objectives of some projects. The cheetah must process the input of the gazelle’s changes in direction along with the changes in the landscape and respond to these changes in order to accomplish the goal of catching the gazelle.
