Overview
AgilePM® launched in October 2010, extracts the Project Management elements of the DSDM Agile Project Framework and makes them available as Agile Project Management; a certified approach in its own right. The AgilePM Foundation certification is useful to all candidates and competency levels ranging from highly experienced project managers to those new to the industry.
The Foundation AgilePM® certification lives up to its name by providing the users of the method with the core principles needed to facilitate a successful project while allowing a degree of scope and agility that not many other methodologies provide.
During this course you will:
- Develop a more advanced, applied level of knowledge to gain an understanding of AgilePM® and the ability to apply relevant project management methods, leading to successful AgilePM® projects.
- Clarify different management styles needed for successful AgilePM® projects compared to traditional projects and be able to tailor these to the situation.
- Actively promote trust and close cooperation between the business and developers and gives the business ongoing visibility into what is happening.
- Combine knowledge of more traditional management methodologies with AgilePM® to better adapt to a changing business environment.
- Improve time-to-market and project success rates while simultaneously accelerating results by encouraging stakeholder involvement, feedback and effective controls
- Deliver change faster, at a lower cost and with lower risk by continually validating project milestones against business objectives.
- Complements and works with existing corporate processes such as PRINCE2®, quality and audit processes which improve rigour and visibility around project management, leading to a proven track record of successful delivery in a corporate environment.
- Simply adopt a tried and tested approach rather than developing and integrating a company-specific AgilePM® management process.
- Achieve better communication and control over projects and adapt project plans without disrupting the project budget, timescale and scope.
- Develop professionalism in employees and include AgilePM® certification in employee professional development schemes.
- Equip yourself with the skills and knowledge needed to progress to the Agile PM Practitioner course.
