Agile project management techniques are ideal for web projects - they are normally divisible into separate features, that can be assessed for business value and cry out for early delivery through incremental development.
IndigoBlue consultant Denis Howlett is the trainer on the very popular Econsultancy Web Project training courses:
Managing web projects is difficult: mixed teams, experts in different areas and stakeholders frequently pull you in different directions and tight deadlines add additional pressures. Throw in changing requirements, high expectations, tight budgets and time restrictions and what is needed is a workable project management technique to provide structure and control that’s flexible enough to handle evolving requirements. This course adopts an Agile approach that combines the right level of control with flexibility.

Web projects are complex. Different work streams such as content creation, usability, design, front-end coding and back-end development all have different constraints and dependencies. Using the best techniques from traditional approaches such as Prince2 and newer Agile methods, this course shows you how to create a robust plan for your project by enabling parallel development, reducing dependencies and allowing for the inevitable changes in requirements during the course of the project.

Delivering a web project on time and to budget with all the features the users asked for is a tall order. So many things can go wrong: the content might be late, the developers might have underestimated, the delivered site might not work in the way you expected. How can you ensure that this doesn't happen? This course identifies a number of common pitfalls and introduces strategies for avoiding them happening or mitigating their effects if they are already affecting your project.

While I was working with one of my clients a few years a go, I was given a book to read by the CEO. "The Speed of Trust". I read the book with a healthy dose of scepticism having read many management books in the past. But this book resonated with the core principles of Agile for me.
