APMG-International AgilePM® Practitioner classroom

Based on the proven fundamentals within DSDM  - the only agile approach to focus on delivery of projects in a fully agile way - the 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.

The workshop is a four-day Practitioner course which provides the opportunity for participants to take the Practitioner examination on the final day.

The Practitioner level empowers, encourages and equips you with an in-depth knowledge of not just the certification, but also how to apply and implement these principles into the life of a project manager on a daily basis.

Course syllabus:

• Explain how to lay the foundations for successful agile projects
• Explain how an agile project is managed
• Clarify the different management styles needed for successful agile projects (compared to “traditional” projects)
• Provide integration with PRINCE2®
• Fully prepare you for AgilePM Foundation and Practitioner examinations

The Practitioner course is a four-day workshop.

With a clear, concise and detailed perspective on project productivity, the certification is useful to all candidates and competency levels ranging from highly experienced project managers to those new to the industry.
