APM Project Management Fundamentals Course

Course Overview – Location: Oxford UK

This one-day training course will demonstrate the key practices commonly found in Agile Project Management.

Agile is not a method – it is a smarter approach to the management of projects. For example, it changes how developers interact with key users, and how the development process is managed. Being an approach rather than a method is a double edged sword – there are few ‘rules’ which raises many questions. This course will highlight them and provide clear guidance. One of the most important questions is how do you combine Governance with Agile – the course also addresses this question.
