AgilePM® gives you a practical, repeatable approach to project management that balances the structure, rigour and governance of traditional methods with the speed, adaptability and team empowerment of agile.
Built on the DSDM Agile Project Framework, AgilePM is the only certification in the world that fully addresses the role of a project manager working in an agile environment. It gives you the mindset and the skillset to deliver real outcomes, on time and on budget.
The course covers the principles, lifecycle and philosophy of an agile project, with practical guidance on management styles, team roles and responsibilities, and the techniques that make agile delivery work in practice. AgilePM is also designed to integrate cleanly with PRINCE2® and other established project management methodologies, making it a natural fit for organizations evolving their existing practices rather than starting from scratch.
