Agile

Introduction:

Are you new to Project Management or do you have several years’ experience of project management and are looking to progress your understanding of agile approaches to project management and hopefully your career? An article in CIO.com describes Agile PM as being one of the top 8 certifications globally for professionals looking to take their career to the next level.

Let’s face it projects are a major investment for companies. The costs of not managing them effectively can run into thousands if not millions of pounds! This course will provide you with everything you need to get it right first time.

The Agile Project Management course is a 3-day workshop which focuses on core components of agile project management as distinct from traditional project management, and on equipping course participants with strategies and techniques for successful Lean and Agile project implementation. It offers participants the opportunity to practice the role of agile project manager as a facilitator of agile practices towards achieving desired outcomes.

This certification also takes a much more in-depth look at the fundamental agile concepts of adaptive planning, customer collaboration, and value-driven delivery in dynamic and sometimes highly constrained environments. In addition, the learning outcomes address agile approaches to standard project management processes such as metrics, reporting, and contract management.

So, whether you are an experienced agilist or PM or someone who is new to project management, this training will enhance your understanding of agile, provide you with practical tools that will make you more effective as a project manager and can dramatically improve your career prospects. During three dynamic days participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of what to expect on an Agile project and more importantly acquire the skills to be effective on one.
