This 5-day accredited course provides participants with a thorough and complete theory & practice in the Agile Project Management framework. It combines a Foundation-level introduction to the framework, and an in-depth Practitioner-level examination of how a project manager applies the framework.

Participants will sit 2 examinations (Foundation & Practitioner) and on passing they will receive both Agile Projectmanagement certificates.

Goals

Agile Project Management is one of the fastest growing qualifications in the project management world. If you want to learn how to improve your skills to tackle project management more quickly and effectively, then this combined course fills you in on everything you need to know.

At the end of this course you will be able to:

• Set up an Agile project & how to apply the Agile PM guidance
• Configure the lifecycle of an Agile project to a given scenario
• Identify appropriate people for Agile roles & responsibilities
• Communicate with business stakeholders in a project environment

• Present the benefits of Agile approaches to senior management

Advantages

• You are fully Agile PM certified in only 5 days
• The course has been designed to run over 5 days (rather then the more typical 4 days). The more relaxed pace provides significant advantages for attendees and there is more time to discuss and explore the ideas and techniques behind the framework
• There are no pre-requisites for attending this training. Some experience of working on projects is desirable
• There is no pre-course work for this training
• There is no homework although it is expected that delegates repeat the material covered during a training day so that relevant questions can be asked at the beginning of the next day to ensure maximum benefits of each training day

Testimonials

Great training ! Eindelijk een framework dat agile development met enige vorm van voorbereiding toont en duidelijk toelaat agile buiten ICT toe te passen. Perfecte use-case. Dit laat me eindelijk toe agile en GDPM concepten in change projecten te structureren zonder het zelf te moeten uitvinden. Zo kan ik veel projecten een structuur geven en overbrengen naar klant of sponsor binnen een gekend framework ipv iets specifiek te moeten ontwikkelen.
