Agile project management for agencies

Agile working brings structure to dynamic projects. Instead of rigid plans, there are clear goals, short feedback cycles and genuine team responsibility.
For agencies that want to remain flexible while still delivering predictable results.

Agile work makes it possible

Agile methods, perfect for agencies

Scrum, Kanban & Co. are more than just methods, they are a mindset.
An approach that is particularly well suited to creative, project-driven teams.
Agile project management helps to reduce complexity and achieve goals faster,
without compromising quality.

Faster response to changes

Clear priotities

Transparent progress & tasks

Better teamwork

Continuous improvement

Whether you work with Scrum, Kanban or a combination of both, the decisive factor is how you apply the method in your everyday work.
That is exactly what we will look at now.

Implementing Scrum

Your first steps:
👉 Set a sprint goal: What should be achieved?
👉 Create a backlog with all tasks
👉 Plan what's part of the sprint with your team

During the sprint:
👉 Daily stand-up meeting (max. 15 minutes)
👉 Document progress directly on your board
👉 Hold a review after each sprint cycle

Scrum is not a rigid system, it thrives on collaborative learning. Start small, keep meetings short and give your team room to organise themselves.

Introducing Kanban

Your first steps:
👉 Create a board with columns: ‘To Do’, ‘In Progress’, “Review”, ‘Done’
👉 Write all tasks on individual cards
👉 Switch from the ‘push’ principle (‘I give you work’) to the “pull” principle (‘I get the next task’)

During the work mode:
👉 Introduce WIP limits: e.g. a maximum of 3 tasks in ‘In progress’
👉 Short check-in meeting twice a week

Kanban immediately provides a better overview, if you agree on clear rules and regularly maintain the board together. No unnecessary meetings, but focus on flow.

When is a tool worthwhile?

Agile working thrives on transparency, structure & collaboration. Sounds simple, but things can quickly become confusing. This is where agile project management tools come in handy.

A digital tool can help you if...
👉 your team works remotely or in a hybrid model

👉 tasks and statuses need to be visible centrally
👉 capacities need to be planned realistically
