Course description
Agile has quickly become the go-to project management approach for a wide range of industries. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI®), more than 90% of organizations are using Agile to some degree. More than three out of four organizations believe Agile will be preferred over the traditional “waterfall” approach by 2021.* If your business is not using Agile, it will be soon.
This one-day program covers the essentials of agile project management and contrasts traditional (or waterfall) project management practices to Agile and Iterative methods. You will learn how to initiate, plan, and schedule an Agile project; how to estimate using story points and ideal days; and how to monitor performance against the plan.
You will leave this program understanding how best to apply Agile –in concert with or instead of traditional methods– for your organization’s projects. Throughout the day, there will be interactive activities, and the day ends with a simulation that works through an actual agile project management process where you will get to apply the tools, methodologies, and philosophy of Agile.
Agile is as much a mindset as it is guiding principles and concepts. It is a smarter approach to the management of projects. It relies on motivated individuals supporting each other to reach a common aim, together as one.
