The Agile Project Management™ (AgilePM) certification aims to address the needs of those working in a project-focused environment who want to be agile.
Agile projects are characterised by highly self-empowered teams delivering products incrementally with a focus on early delivery of real benefits to the business. Unlike more traditional approaches, agile projects fix time, cost and quality at the early phases of the project and manage contingency by developing a clear view of priorities in collaboration with the business.
Based on the proven fundamentals within DSDM, the AgilePM certification lives up to its name by providing users of the method with the core principles needed to facilitate a successful project, whilst allowing a degree of scope and agility that not many other methodologies provide. ILX Group’s Agile Project Management™ (AgilePM) Foundation e-learning has been fully accredited and will prepare you for the formal examination.
The e-learning for the Foundation training will take around eight to ten hours to complete.
By the end of this course you should understand the key principles and terminology within the Agile Management Foundation guidance. Specifically:
• The underpinning philosophy and principles of Agile
• The lifecycle of an Agile project, including alternative configurations
• The products produced during an Agile project and their purpose
• The techniques used and their benefits and limitations
• The roles and responsibilities within an Agile project.
