Agile Project Management (AgilePM) is the new training course and qualification from the APMG. Launched in November 2010 as a stable-mate to PRINCE2, Agile Project Management marks a new dawn in project management best practice.
The course is based on the tried and tested principles of DSDM Atern and is aimed at Project Managers who are either adding to their knowledge of traditional approaches such as PRINCE2 or who are operating in an agile environment and need to be able to run projects in more complex and scalable situations.
What are the benefits of Agile Project Management?
- Most agile methods in the marketplace to date, such as Scrum and XP are software specific and work only at a product delivery level. Because AgilePM is based on DSDM Atern, the only agile method that works at a project management level, it provides a full project management framework that includes roles and responsibilities and a full project lifecycle.
- AgilePM can be used on any type of project and of any size.
- Agile Project Management provides structure and rigour whilst still enabling the fast pace, change and empowerment provided by agile and because AgilePM is fully scalable it provides perfect integration with PRINCE2.
- By flexing the deliverables on a project and through the various techniques used such as timeboxing and MoSCoW prioritisation, AgilePM delivers projects on time and on budget whilst protecting the quality of the final deliverables.
