AgilePM® (Agile Project Management™) Foundation & Practitioner eLearning

Join the Agile Revolution!

Agile project management takes the ideas from Agile software development and applies them to project management. Agile methodologies generally promote a project management process that encourages stakeholder involvement, feedback, objective metrics and effective controls.

Why is AgilePM® so popular?

Agile project management qualifications are rising fast! Whilst agile development methods such as Scrum dominate the software industry, they are gaining popularity in other industries too.

As more businesses adopt agile, they are seeking dedicated agile project management methods to help them. Individuals with agile project management certifications can therefore command a premium in the jobs market.

There are 6 key factors why AgilePM® is proving to be popular.

1. It provides governance and agility
Based upon the Agile Project Framework (APF) which was established over 20 years ago, AgilePM® blends both corporate governance aspects with key agile concepts and is specifically aimed at project managers. The authors of the APF were the DSDM, one of the founding signatories to the agile manifesto.

2. Never compromise quality
Never compromising quality is an underlying principle of AgilePM®. This is helped by agreeing high-level acceptance criteria throughout the full project lifecycle.

3. Risk management
A starting point in AgilePM® for understanding risks is the Project Approach Questionnaire. This enables a shared understanding of project risks and how to mitigate them.

4. Goes beyond product development approaches
Whereas common agile methods such as Scrum offer product development approaches, they do not address project management. AgilePM® goes further than Scrum by offering an agile project management approach.

5. Clear roles and responsibilities
AgilePM® assigns clear roles and responsibilities to individuals from the business, user, technical and management areas so that effective stakeholder collaboration can be achieved.

6. Incorporates popular agile practices
Key agile practices such as MoSCoW, timeboxing and iterative development are incorporated into AgilePM® to support effective product development.

Changing requirements

Agile approaches recognize that users often don’t fully know their requirements when projects start and therefore, they will likely change during the project. Whilst changing requirements can often be problematic in more traditional project management approaches, agile approaches embrace changes in requirements.
On agile projects time and cost are normally the fixed elements but the requirements and scope of the project are variable. Agile therefore is better at delivering on time than more traditional project management approaches.

Agile approaches focus on incremental and iterative releases of products to users and customers, each iteration or incremental release giving the user yet more functionality. Agile can therefore deliver products early to users and this helps users better understand and refine their requirements after a period of use.

AgilePM® is the world’s leading certification in Agile Project Management. The qualification balances robust governance with a collaborative culture that inspires innovation and improves competitive advantage.

AgilePM® Foundation and Practitioner eLearning Course

The APMG-International AgilePM® certification addresses the needs of those who work in planning contexts and who need to be agile. Agile management or agile project management is an interactive method for defining requisites and creating the corresponding output for projects, typically in the fields of engineering or information technology, which are characterised by a strong need for interaction and flexibility

Objectives

The objective of the Agile Project Management Foundation course is to discover and explore these components, principles and processes. The Foundation level is also required to be able to go on to the successive qualification levels.

The AgilePM Foundation course is a prerequisite for access of the next level of qualification, AgilePM Practitioner.

The aim of the Agile Project Management Practitioner course is to ensure and confirm, with an exam pass, that a candidate is able to start and apply the method in many cases of real life projects.
