What is "WAgile" Project Management?

WAgile project management is like having the best of both worlds. It combines the Waterfall method's structure and predictability with the Agile method's flexibility and adaptability. This approach is perfect for projects that need a bit of both world.

One of the most notable benefits of WAgile project management is that it allows for the flexibility and adaptability of Agile methodologies while still providing the structure and predictability of Waterfall methodologies. Think of it like building a house, where you have a blueprint, but you can make adjustments as you go. This helps ensure the project is completed on time and within budget while allowing for necessary changes and adjustments.
Another advantage of WAgile project management is that it helps to ensure that your project meets the quality standards set by your organisation. The WAgile approach includes regular testing and quality assurance throughout the project, like having a house inspector checking everything is up to code. This helps ensure that the project delivers a high-quality end product that meets your organisation's and its stakeholders' needs.

WAgile project management also helps to improve communication and collaboration among team members. The WAgile approach includes regular team meetings and progress reviews, like having a team huddle before starting to work. This can help keep everyone on the same page and ensure everyone is working towards the same goals.

‍
In addition, WAgile project management helps to improve the overall project management process. The WAgile approach includes regular monitoring and tracking of progress, like having a project manager constantly check the work progress. This can help to identify and address any issues or roadblocks early on, preventing delays and cost overruns.

In conclusion, WAgile project management is like having the best of both worlds. It combines the Waterfall method's structure and predictability with the Agile method's flexibility and adaptability. This approach is perfect for some projects that need a bit of both world. WAgile project management also helps to ensure that your project meets the quality standards set by your organisation, improves communication and collaboration among team members and improves the overall project management process. This approach can help organisations to achieve their goals and deliver value to their stakeholders.

Project Management as a Service, explained

Project Management as a Service (PMaaS) is a model where organisations access expert project management capability on demand — without hiring full-time staff or engaging a consultancy. JJPH embeds experienced project managers directly inside your team. You get the skills, governance, and delivery rigour when you need them, without the overhead of permanent headcount.

⚡

Not a staffing agency

We don't place contractors and walk away. Our PMs are backed by the full JJPH team and accountable for delivery outcomes.

🏢

Not a Big 4 consultancy

No slide decks, no partner overhead, no junior staff doing the work. Senior PMs embedded inside your organisation from day one.

📈

Scales with your needs

Start with one PM and expand as your project pipeline grows. Flex up or down without the cost and delay of recruitment.

Common questions about how JJPH works

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from CEOs, COOs, and Heads of Technology before they engage us.

How is PMaaS different from hiring a contractor?

A contractor is an individual working independently. With JJPH, you get an embedded project manager backed by the full JJPH team — including collective delivery expertise, governance frameworks, and leadership oversight. If your PM is unavailable, we cover it. If your project needs specialist input, we bring it. It’s a firm relationship, not a solo hire.

What does an embedded project manager actually do inside our organisation?

They operate as part of your team — attending your standups, managing your stakeholders, owning your project plan, and reporting into your leadership. They’re accountable for delivery, not just coordination. The difference is they bring JJPH’s methodology, tools, and governance from day one rather than needing months to ramp up.

Is PMaaS right for our organisation?

PMaaS works best for organisations that have projects to deliver but don’t want the cost and commitment of full-time PM hires. It suits mid-to-large organisations across banking, housing, construction, technology, and not-for-profit that need delivery rigour without the overhead. If you’re unsure, the Portfolio Map session is the right starting point — it takes 30 minutes and gives you a clear picture.

What methodologies does JJPH use?

Our PMs are certified across Agile, PRINCE2, and Lean Six Sigma. We don’t apply a single methodology to every engagement — we match the approach to the project type, sector, and the way your organisation actually works. Most engagements use a hybrid approach tailored to your delivery environment.

How quickly can JJPH have someone embedded?

Typically within two weeks of agreement. We don’t go through a lengthy recruitment process because our PMs are already part of the JJPH team. Once we understand your project and sector, we match the right person and move quickly.

Can we start small and scale up?

Yes — this is how most client relationships start. Many organisations begin with one PM on a single project, then expand the engagement as they see results. Our land-and-expand model is designed for this. You’re not locked into a large contract upfront.
