Agile Project Management is one of the revolutionary methods introduced into the practice of project management. This is one of the latest project management strategies that is mainly applied to the practice of project management in software development. Therefore, it is best to associate agile project management with the software development process when it is understood.
From the very beginning of software development as a business, a number of processes followed, such as the waterfall model. With the development of software development, technology, and business requirements, traditional models are not robust enough to meet needs.
Therefore, more flexible software development models were required for flexibility of requirements. As a result, the information technology community has developed agile software development models.
"Agile" is an umbrella term used to identify the various models used for agile development, such as Scrum. Because the agile development model is different from conventional models, agile project area management is a specialized area of project management.
Flexible process
To understand agile project management requires a good understanding of the agile development process.
Agile Process
There are many differences in the agile model compared to traditional models:
The flexible model emphasizes the fact that the entire team must be a tightly integrated unit. This includes developers, quality assurance, project management and the customer.
Frequent communication is one of the key factors that make this integration possible. Therefore, daily meetings are held in order to determine the day's work and dependencies.
Deliveries are short-term. Typically, the delivery cycle ranges from one week to four weeks. These are commonly known as sprints.
Agile project teams follow open communication methods and tools that allow team members (including the client) to express their views and feedback openly and quickly. These comments are then taken into account in the formation of requirements and the implementation of the software.

Flexible Project Management
In an agile project, the entire team is responsible for managing the team, and it's not just the responsibility of the project manager. When it comes to processes and procedures, common sense is used over written policies.
This ensures that there are no delays in making management decisions and therefore everything can develop faster.
In addition to being a manager, the agile project management function must also demonstrate leadership and motivation skills for others. This helps to maintain the spirit among team members and forces the team to follow discipline.
Agile project manager is not the "boss" of the software development team. Rather, this function facilitates and coordinates the actions and resources necessary for high-quality and fast software development.
Responsibilities of the Agile Project Manager
The responsibilities of the Agile Project Management feature are as follows: From one project to another, these responsibilities may change slightly and be interpreted in different ways.
Responsible for maintaining agile values and practices within the project team.
Agile Project Manager removes obstacles as a core function of the role.
Helps project team members turn the requirements log into software functionality.
Facilitates and encourages effective and open communication within the team.
Responsible for holding flexible meetings where short-term plans and plans to overcome obstacles are discussed.
Improves the tool and techniques used in the development process.
The Agile project manager is the main motivator of the team and plays the role of a mentor for team members.

Agile Project Management does not manage a team of software developers.
- reverse informed decisions made by team members.
- assign team members to perform tasks or procedures.
- lead a team to reach certain milestones or deliveries.
- assign a task to team members.
- make decisions on behalf of the team.
- participate in making technical decisions or developing a product strategy.
- manage a team of software developers.

Conclusion
In agile projects, everyone (developers, quality assurance engineers, designers, etc.) is responsible for managing the project to achieve the project goals.
In addition to this, the Agile Project Manager plays a key role in the agile team to provide resources, keep the team motivated, troubleshoot blocking issues, and remove obstacles as early as possible.
In this sense, the agile project manager is the mentor and advocate of the agile team, not the manager.
