AgilePM® Agile Project Management is a guide and qualification from the APMG International, launched in November 2010. The AgilePM® Agile Project Management training scheme aims to address the needs of those working in a project-focused environment (such as PRINCE2® ) who want, or need, to be agile. Based on the proven fundamentals of DSDM, this new certification provides the ability to deliver Agile Projects in organisations requiring standards, rigour and visibility around Project Management, while at the same time enabling the fast pace, change and empowerment provided by Agile management methods. It is fully scalable and provides excellent integration with PRINCE2®
The course is aimed at Project Managers who are either adding to their knowledge of traditional approaches such as PRINCE2® or who are operating in an agile environment and need to be able to run projects in more complex and scalable situations.
The covers the AgilePM certification by APMG and the DSDM Consortium that has been created to sit alongside PRINCE2® as an approach to project management. The course is equally divided between the theory of the new wave of agile project management and the practical experience of the techniques and disciplines involved.
