THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Deming (PDCA) Management Circle (1970s) eXtreme Project Management Agile Project Management: Creating Innovative Products Project Management: E-learning Complex Adaptive System: CAS Project Management Institute: PMI Agile Project Management Model

Synthesized from the discipline of management study discipline: Deming’s management (PDCA), Complex Adaptive System: CAS, PMI project management

Three new agile project management techniques: 1) “eXtreme Project Management”, 2) “Agile Project Management: Creating Innovative Products”, 3) “Project Management e- Learning”.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE

RESEARCH ASSUMPTION

Developed an opened-ended / in-depth interviewsDesigned the model: The Proposed Agile Project Management Model. Performed in-depth interviews to ensure the approval of the proposed Agile Project Management model. The Agile Project Management Model Collected and analyzed the interview data/ Ensure the approval of the proposed model

Group 1 Five project management experts who have more than 15 years experience in project management career in the private sector. Group 2 Three experts from the universities who have at least 10 years of experience in managing the m-Learning or/ e-Learning projects or/ other related technology involved projects management.

Agile Project Management Model Concept & Product Definition Session Initial Cycle Planning Development Cycles & Interim Delivery Sessions Products Acceptance & Product Rollout Project Retrospect Project Continuous Improvement What are the problems which project try to solve, improve and develop? What are the benefit to our customer for the project outcomes? Who is the main project responsibility? Do we need the initial cycle planning module to deliver at least 2 rounds continuous improvement for our client satisfaction? Is self control within project team lead by project leader instead of strongly control by project controller better than strong control from out side? Could the project outcome in each iteration cycle could be change according to the client needed? Do delivery the final iteration round is not the ended of the project, isn’t it? When will be the final step for ending the project? Do we need to review for each passed iterative cycle for collection and documentation collection and review for an effective product usage? How can we develop a knowledge management from all the lesson-learnt both success and failure stories that happened during the project development in next project for continuous improvement ? Plan Do Check Act Figure 2: Agile Project Management Model
