Course Description

Much has been said about running agile projects. However, most courses
talk about the development approach to agile projects and not so much on
the management approach. As projects become more complex and
approaches vary, the need to complement traditional (waterfall) methods
with new approaches becomes a necessity. This two-day course is geared
towards the project manager who is managing agile projects – regardless of the development
methodology and industry. Based completely on PMI’s Agile Practice Guide and with references to the
PMBOK® Guide – 6th Edition, you are guaranteed to come off this training fully equipped to manage any
type of agile project for any type of industry. Learn today and lead tomorrow.

• Describe the concepts of Agile and the different approaches
• Determine what is the preferred approach for each type of project
• Prepare his/her organization to have an Agile Mindset
• Apply some of the Agile Practices in his/her workplace
