Course Overview: Agile Project Management

This online Agile project management training course demonstrates how to apply Agile specifically to your projects.

Agile is simply to understand in principle. However, it is harder to do in the real world.

Delivering the potential benefits of Agile requires an understanding that Agile is not a method. It is a very different approach to the management of projects. For example, it changes the way developers interact with users and totally changes how the software development process is managed.

Being an approach rather than a method is a double-edged sword. There are few ‘rules’ and that raises many questions. This course highlights them and provides clear guidance.

One of the most important questions is how to combine Governance with Agile. This course also addresses this question.

Format of this online course

The course is highly interactive and practical. It uses a real project(s) from your organisation as the basis of all practical sessions throughout the course.

Clearly, this is very different from simply talking about Agile principles and values.
