About this course

Introduction

Agile Project Management (AgilePM) is the world’s most popular Agile management framework.

Based on the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), AgilePM offers the flexibility and adaptability of Agile alongside the control and alignment of traditional project management methodologies.

It can be applied to almost any business or organization and can even be used alongside other frameworks such as PRINCE2 Agile.

Passing the AgilePM exam qualifies a candidate to take the AgilePM Practitioner examination.

Becoming a fully qualified AgilePM practitioner equips students with the tools, best practices, and perspective to thrive in Agile project management teams and even take on higher-paying roles.

Benefits for Organizations

AgilePM has proven to be a demonstrably effective project management framework.

It prioritizes the end product. Goals are completed and established iteratively based on changing project requirements and environmental factors.

This adaptive approach leads to end-results that are far better suited to client requirements. 

What sets AgilePM apart from other Agile frameworks is its greater focus on control and alignment.

This counters many of the main issues that businesses tend to have with Agile management and allows them to enjoy the benefits of Agile without having to worry about projects becoming unfocused or going off track.
