The APMG International AgilePM® certification aims to address the needs of those working in a project-focused environment who want to be Agile. Based on the proven fundamentals within the Agile Business Consortium's framework, the certification provides the ability to deliver Agile Projects in organisations requiring standards, rigor and visibility around Project Management, while at the same time enabling the fast pace, change and empowerment provided by Agile.
The course is suitable for
Pre-requisites
There are no official pre-requisites for the foundation level. The Pre-requisite accepted to be eligible to take the Practitioner examination is AgilePM Foundation Certificate.
Benefits
The course will explain how to lay the foundations for successful agile projects, explain how an agile project is managed, clarify the different management styles needed for successful agile projects (compared to "traditional" projects), and provide integration with PRINCE2®.
Individuals can develop a more advanced, applied level of knowledge to gain an understanding of agile and the ability to apply relevant project management methods, leading to successful agile projects; clarify different management styles needed for successful agile projects compared to traditional projects and be able to tailor these to the situation.
Organisations will deliver change faster, at a lower cost and with lower risk by continually validating project milestones against business objectives. The framework complements and works with existing corporate processes such as PRINCE2®, quality and audit processes which improves rigour and visibility around project management, leading to a proven track record of successful delivery in a corporate environment. Organisations can simply adopt a tried and tested approach rather than developing and integrating a company-specific agile management process.
They can achieve better communication and control over projects and adapt project plans without disrupting the project budget, timescale and scope; and develop professionalism in employees and include agile certification in employee professional development schemes.
