Managing Healthcare Projects Using DSDM and Agile Project Management: A Comprehensive Guide for Professionals provides a comprehensive guide to implementing agile project management (Agile PM) in healthcare.

Dynamic systems development method (DSDM) is an agile project delivery framework initially used as a software development method and was originally sought to provide some discipline to the rapid application development method. Agile PM is a method that emphasises flexibility, cooperation, and iterative development, which can be especially useful in healthcare where rapid adaptability to changing circumstances is required. Traditional project management methodologies may not always be appropriate in the healthcare industry due to unique obstacles and constraints. This book addresses these issues and offers practical advice on how to use agile ideas and practices in healthcare projects. It covers a variety of topics, all specialised to the healthcare environment, such as project planning, stakeholder involvement, risk management, and quality assurance. Healthcare organisations are increasingly recognising the value of agility in thriving in a competitive market and meeting the changing requirements of patients and staff. Agile PM has been proved in several industries to improve efficiency, stakeholder satisfaction, and overall project outcomes. Agility is critical in the healthcare sector in particular for effectively responding to crises like the COVID-19 epidemic and enabling the development of Healthcare 4.0.

This book is an excellent resource for healthcare workers looking to embrace Agile PM practices. Its focus on healthcare and practical instruction sets it apart and makes it relevant to the demands of the industry. Adopting agile methodologies allows healthcare organisations to improve project outcomes, increase stakeholder satisfaction, and effectively respond to the industry’s dynamic problems.
