Utilizing Hybrid Project Management Approaches in Drug Development
Project managers in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors have historically relied on Waterfall project management methodologies to guide their work, providing the structure needed for regulatory adherence. However, with the increasing demand for nimbleness and speed in the development of new therapies, Agile methodologies have become more prevalent.
In the face of the unique challenges inherent to drug development, it may benefit the project managers driving the therapies to adopt a hybrid project management approach—one that blends the structured, linear nature of Waterfall with the adaptability and iterative processes of Agile.
