What is an agile project management course?
Agile project management courses address the needs of those working under a traditional-project management framework who want to be Agile, and those working in an agile environment who desire a better understanding of agile frameworks, principles, and values.
There are 2 popular Agile project management training courses:
- AgilePM® Foundation and Practitioner.
- PRINCE2® Agile.
Also related is the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP)® qualification which is loosely related to project management and provides a general overview of agile methodologies.
Our courses provide accessible and practical training for all members within a project development team, including supporting roles. Qualifications range from entry-level certifications (those that have no prerequisites) to advanced-level certifications (those that require prior experience of project management, or an entry-level certification).
Regardless of your own experience or knowledge of Agile practices, our courses offer an opportunity for career growth and advancement. Read on to find out which certification is most applicable to your industry, profession, or country of residence.
PRINCE2 Agile
The PRINCE2 Agile certification is aimed at project management professionals who work within an established PRINCE2 environment. PRINCE2 Agile is a modification of the PRINCE2 framework which integrates PRINCE2 project management with agile product delivery.
