Descriptions
Who is this course for
This course is aimed at both Project Managers and all others involved in Project Management. The course is especially useful for anyone in engineering and information technology development for software projects and product or application development.
Purpose of the course
Agile techniques such as Scrum are highly regarded and can be wildly successful. Scrum on its own, however, focusses principally on getting work done. In this course, you will learn what Agile means, and will also learn how the DSDM framework wraps up techniques such as Scrum with a full project management lifecycle. DSDM is the name of the framework you will learn, and AgilePM is the certification for this framework.
You will learn how to
- Use Agile techniques to help deliver successful projects consistently on time and within budget constraints.
- Compare and contrast Agile approaches with more traditional Project Management techniques, such as PRINCE2®.
Benefits for you as an individual
Understanding the different management style needed for successful agile projects compared to traditional projects will mean you can tailor your approach to different situations. Knowing how you can combine this knowledge with the more traditional management methodologies will allow you to adapt to a changing business environment.
Benefits for your organisation
Traditional Project Management is sometimes known as Big Design Up Front (BDUF), and can be fantastic. However, if you apply BDUF to the wrong sort of project, you are likely to be heading for trouble. This course teaches you the key questions to ask to decide whether a given project would benefit most from a Traditional approach, an Agile approach, or a combination of the two.
Prerequisites
There are no pre-requisites for this course. Delegates new to project management will learn a great deal about how to manage projects. Existing project managers, or others involved in project management will learn a new way of looking at the project lifecycle.Agile Project Management Fundamentals
