Combining the systematic and detailed planning strategies from the traditional project management, with a flexible approach which is one of the main values in agile project management, it&#8217;s a common way of applying Hybrid Project Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying Hybrid Project Management reminds me of the Ancient Chinese philosophy, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yin_and_yang\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">yin and yang<\/a>. If I need to describe the yin and yang with a Hybrid Project Management terminology, then I would write that the synonym for <strong>yin<\/strong> would be <strong>stability<\/strong> which makes an association to the traditional project management, and <strong>yang<\/strong> would be <strong>adaptability<\/strong> that&#8217;s an appropriate keyword for agile project management.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-yin-and-yang-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1207 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-yin-and-yang-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-yin-and-yang-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-yin-and-yang-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-yin-and-yang-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-yin-and-yang.jpg 1279w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A prerequisite for applying Hybrid Project Management is to have a knowledge of both approaches, the traditional and the agile project management. I always try to learn as much as possible from both worlds. I learn from the formal approach and the best practices articulated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1628251840\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=vbu01-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=1628251840&amp;linkId=327b57ae1face26c805d69993cce97e3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">PMBOK<\/a>, but on the other hand, I try to learn from all methodologies and approaches which are based on agile principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no single definition for <strong>Hybrid Project Management<\/strong>, but many relevant persons and entities agree that is an approach in which it is combining the traditional and agile project management approaches. If you are interested in Hybrid Project Management, then without doubt you can take the previous statement as a starting point, and learning about the traditional and agile project management approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional Project Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Traditional project management<\/strong> in its essence includes a systematic approach, long planning, precise estimations, and careful risk management in planning and execution phases. Even though traditional project management is introduced as a discipline in 20 century (project management as a discipline in 1950, the Gannt chart 1910), it exists in different forms even for centuries. Traditional project management can be recognized in the process of building the Great Pyramids (The Great Pyramid of Giza 2580\u20132560 BC). It can be successfully applied in a case in which the scope of work can be articulated clearly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-traditional-project-management-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1209 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-traditional-project-management-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-traditional-project-management-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-traditional-project-management-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-traditional-project-management-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hybrid-Project-Management-traditional-project-management.jpg 1279w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Definition of Traditional Project Management<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PMI incorporates the Agile approach in the sixth edition of their PMBOK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The respectable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Management Institute<\/a> (PMI), released the <strong>sixth edition<\/strong> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/pmbok-guide-standards\/foundational\/pmbok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>PMBOK<\/strong><\/a> in <strong>2017<\/strong>.
