What will I learn?

Agile methodologies have been used internationally in software development for many years, but are now being used increasingly in the project management environment as they offer a flexible approach that be continually adjusted according to the changing needs of the business and/or customer.

The APMG Agile project management Foundation & Practitioner course introduces delegates to the principles, techniques and processes required for successful agile project management.

The course is based on the widely known DSDM Atern approach to Agile project management and is supported with an official guide along with comprehensive course materials.

The objectives of this course are to enable delegates to:

  • Understand the concepts, benefits and risks of Agile development
  • Understand the philosophy, approach and principles of Agile project management, using DSDM Atern
  • Understand the DSDM Atern lifecycle and products
  • Set up appropriate project teams
  • Plan and run a facilitated workshop
  • Model and prototype aspects of the solution
  • Elicit, analyse, prioritise and manage requirements
  • Create a time-boxed plan for a project
  • Understand the importance of negotiation and collaboration
  • Use their skills to set up and manage an Agile project

    Where will it lead me?
