AgilePM Foundation & Practitioner

AgilePM combined certified by APMG

Overview

The Agile Project Management (AgilePM) Practitioner course, accredited by the APMG, and created in conjunction with the Agile Business Consortium, provides the world's first independent certification in Agile Project Management.

It provides participants with an understanding of how the Agile Project Management process can enable planning, management, and control of successful and well-controlled Agile projects. The course provides the opportunity to gain certification as an Agile Project Manager at both Foundation and Practitioner levels.

While approaches such as eXtreme Programming, Scrum and Lean Software Development are widely used for evolutionary change, this approach to Agile Project Management is based on DSDM, the only established Agile approach encompassing a project concept and lifecycle.

Organizations often need an Agile approach which recognizes the need for a project discipline with a deadline for delivery, a clear target for business value realization and a controlled budget. Agile Project Management presents a coherent and easily replicated approach to planning, resourcing, and managing a successful and well-disciplined Agile project.
