Course Overview

"Agile" and "agility" are terms that are frequently used, but what do they really mean? And how do they impact our projects and organizations?

In today's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) business environment, recent events like the pandemic and political and financial disruptions have highlighted the need for adaptability. Continuous change, especially in customer requirements and expectations, has driven successful organizations to transform their ways of working.

Agile emphasizes people over tools, working products over documentation, collaboration over contract negotiation, and embracing change over rigidly following a plan. However, Agile does not equate to a lack of control. In this Agile Project Manager Master Class training course, participants will learn how Agile principles, tools, and mindsets are systematically used to deliver value in the complex, post-pandemic environment. Starting with the principles of Agile, the course takes a detailed, practical look at the most popular frameworks and tools. The training concludes with an in-depth examination of the latest post-pandemic trends and the implications of Agile for organizations.
