AgilePM® Foundation
Based on the proven fundamentals within DSDM Atern, this 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. AgilePM® (Agile Project Management) delivers with time as a fixed point, to an agreed quality standard by prioritisation of requirements and regular time boxed delivery with reviews. Agile Project Managers act to facilitate delivery with regular communication with the customer and those developing the solution.
Our virtual version of the traditional classroom delivery is trainer-led, delivered over 2 days on-line to a small group of delegates. The AgilePM® Foundation examination is taken on-line and invigilated remotely.
This course covers the AgilePM® certification by APMG and the DSDM Consortium that has been created to stand alone or sit alongside PRINCE2® as an approach to project management.
