AGILE PROJECT
MANAGEMENT
Agile working is a combination of processes and behaviours that is increasingly common in organisations, e.g. for manufacturing and software development.
This course is designed for an organisation that is looking to adopt the flexibility of Agile working for projects. It will introduce delegates to how they can adapt the APM Body of Knowledge to Agile working for projects, programmes and portfolios. It complements APM’s Practitioner Qualifications and delegates will learn how to shape and run an Agile project or development and what an Agile project landscape looks like.
Suitable for anyone who has achieved APM Practitioner Qualifications. Would also suit Sponsors or project professionals at enterprise PMO, programme or project manager level with at least three years of experience.
