Agile project management’s blueprint originated from the software industry. The software project managers usually followed a rigid sequential approach, resulting in delayed project delivery.

Healthcare projects face a similar issue, as they too follow traditional norms while project delivery. In healthcare too we have many stakeholders involved in the decision-making process like government bodies, regulations, budgetary situations, resources, administrative rules, front-line caregivers, and patients.
Let’s dive deeper and look at the Step by Step Process to Implement Agile in Healthcare

1. Vision Set Up in a Strategy Meeting – A strategy meeting, in the beginning, addresses the core subjects relevant to a project like :

• For: The customer
• Who: The primary team members
• Boundaries: The project category or limitations
• USP: Project Benefits
• Unlike: Alternatives available
• Project differentiation: How this project will solve x problems in one go


2. Building the Project Roadmap – A goal-oriented roadmap charts out all the below-given aspects of the project are the goal, date , metrics and features.

3. Release Plan – Timelines help in setting a tentative date of delivery. A release plan takes about 3-5 sprints.


4. Planning out Sprints- Sprints are small tasks divided where each sprint lasts up to 1-4 weeks.

5. Daily Stand-ups – Stand-ups are meetings where each member is standing in the meeting. The agenda of these meetings is to keep a tab on activities that are completed and activities that have issues that need to be addressed.


6. Review Meetings – At the end of each sprint completion; review meetings are conducted to look at all the sprints comprehensively to assess the drawbacks and the productive journey of the team as a whole.

7. Plan for the next Sprint –At the end of the sprint post review, the team coach decides the next steps of the project with newsprints.
