Overview

Two of the world’s leading Agile frameworks are AgilePM (for project management) and Scrum (for product development).

Where product development primarily focuses on the what and the how of the way the product evolves to achieve its purpose, project management focuses on the coordination and governance associated with the environment in which product development happens.

Scrum covers product development very well but that is only part of the story in a broader business context. Many organizations, particularly larger corporates and public sector bodies, organize their work as projects.
