30 min

By the end you'll be able to

  • Translate Agile Manifesto principles to public health contexts
  • Define and assign Agile team roles
  • Contrast Agile with traditional project management approaches

Traditional project management often relies on “Command and Control” structures that fail in dynamic health environments. This lesson formally introduces Agile Project Management, adapting the Agile Manifesto specifically for public health and transforming “customer collaboration” into “community co-creation”.

We define the critical Agile roles necessary for success, including the Scrum Master as facilitator, the Product Owner as visionary, and the Development Team as the doers.
