AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Developed by APMG in partnership with the Agile Business Consortium, Agile Project Management certification takes the principles of Agile software development and adapts them to the project management environment by applying a process-based methodology to define the project management lifecycle.

The Agile Project Management approach focuses on developing products and also services incrementally in order to be able to cope easily with change, stay on track with business needs and never compromise on quality. As a result, it empowers team members to work together and consequently, deliver products that meet business and customer needs. Above all, the approach is also supported by eight core principles for project delivery, which underlines the need to communicate clearly and as a result, provide business value.

During the course you will cover areas such as timeboxing, planning, iterative development, evolutionary development and also, managing risk.

The AgilePM® Certification is based on the DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) Agile Project Framework, a high-level methodology for a corporate project environment using Agile. One of the world’s most popular Agile approaches, it was created by the DSDM Consortium, which has consequently rebranded as the Agile Business Consortium. As a result, APMG and the Agile Business Consortium launched AgilePM® in 2010. Furthermore, Version 2 of AgilePM® was launched by APMG in 2015. The maturity and proven capability of DSDM and AgilePM® makes them particularly suitable for a corporate project environment, where there is certainly little room for risk or failure, and above all, businesses need a methodology which they can depend on.
