Question
Our small digital agency is currently running into project management problems, as we're following the waterfall methodology which we continuously have hold-ups in the design phase. Our clients are initially very active with feedback in the beginning but then it becomes 2-5 days sometimes before we get feedback on a design, which is affecting our pipeline as well as milestone payment cash flow.
Can anyone recommend a web design pm course that will help us fix our problems?
We may need to learn a new methodology i.e. agile, scrum etc in-order to fix the problem.
We build websites on Magento, Shopify and WordPress.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Answer
Basically these days there is lots of concentration done over designing phase. Your company following waterfall approach, which is only to be used when you don't expect any change over a period of time for the S/W or application you are developing. But so far as you have understood for the acceptance of change, it would surely help you in the long run. As you said your customers do give immediate feedback, so you should undoubtedly go for agile approach. So far as learning for such models are concerned I would like you to suggest to read once Software Engineering by Pearson.
