Project Management: Agile Methodology - Don't over do it!

I used to old and traditional ways of managing project via the known SDLC methodology for instance; waterfall and iterative model. It is so simple and ease me in managing project for the past 15 years. I got used to it and reluctant to change until was forced to do so for past few years.

I was requested to study, analyse and simplified Agile Methodology to be used by newbies in Project Management.

A bit tough for me since I'm not a PMP certified or pure project manager (despite doing that for the last 5 years). After going through many sites and sample, here I believed the most simplified and easy to used (but I feel that it can be simplified further for new project manager whom need to deliver and learn at the same time in a short time frame).

Thanks to Artem Marchenko @ Agile Software Development for the sample shared. You can get it from the site or here.
