Agile Project Management
The APMG-International Agile PM® certification is a brilliant way to go. For those who work in an environment focussed on projects and also want to be agile.
The Agile PM guidance results from a partnership with the DSDM Consortium. It offers practical and repeatable methods that achieve an ideal balance. A fine balance between the standards, precision, and visibility one needs for good project management. It also offers the fast pace, change, and empowerment that Agile provides.
Managing projects in an Agile environment delivers real benefits quicker and with more stakeholder commitment. More and more people are aware of that. Agile's popularity grew across many industry types. It is an important tool for project managers.
Agile project management focuses on developing solutions step by step. In fact, by enabling project teams to react to changing needs effectively. At the same time, it empowers project personnel and encourages exceeded teamwork and ownership.
The guidance is based on DSDM Consortium's Agile Project Framework. DSDM's eight principles for effective agile project delivery back this up:
- Focus on the business need
- Collaborate
- Built bit by bit from firm foundations
- Communicate continuously and clearly
- Deliver on time
- Never compromise quality
- Develop iteratively
- Demonstrate control
Agile PM certification aims at aspiring and practising project managers. At team members who wish to adopt a fast-paced, flexible and collaborative approach to project management. Of course they want to maintain standards and accuracy at the same time.
