# Agile Project Management
* What project management strategies did you use in your projects this module?
I tried to value my partners over the processes by adapting to their specific needs and strengths in the project.
I valued their and my own learning experience over having a perfect project.
I focused on figuring out a working project on my own path vs. forcing solutions because they seemed like the 'correct' solutions.
I tried to remain flexible to re-evaluate our projected path at anytime and be ready to pivot if we needed to go in a different direction.
* What went well?
In gametime, Hector was able to learn more from the project because I prompted a pivot of out pairing strategy when it proved to be unproductive.
We spent more time focusing on learning what we needed to from the project rather than having the prettiest game.
I was able to let go of a solution in the project that I could not wrap my mind around in time in favor of a simpler solution that proved to be more effective than the original solution in the end.
* What would you do differently next time?
In the future, my goal is to be responsive to change in a more timely manner. Even though I did pivot the pairing and scrap a solution that was unproductive,
it took me a few days to do each of those things. In the future, I want to recognize these instances more promptly and make pivots more immediately.
