Agile Project Management Certification

AgilePM – What is it?

Agile Project Management focuses on helping people collaborate effectively to enable rapid delivery of real business value.

AgilePM provides “agility with rigor”, establishing the business, management and solution foundations prior to developing a solution. Many large public and private organisations previously reluctant to adopt lighter Agile approaches have embraced Agile Project Management to enable fast, flexible and controlled project delivery.

The AgilePM Foundation and Practitioner Course is a fully accredited project management methodology intended for all sizes and complexities of projects; from small to large projects; both in the private and public sectors.

Upon course completion, participants will be able to:

Explain the purpose, scope and value of the Agile Project Management Methodology
Understand and explain in detail the method’s principles, lifecycle and products
Distinguish projects to which Agile Project Management would be applicable from ones in which a traditional project management approach would be more appropriate
Gain AgilePM accreditation
