APMFS - AgilePM Foundation

Overview

Duration: 3.0 days

What is Agile? Why be Agile in your projects? The future is unpredictable, and with the world and its technology changing ever faster, our projects experience far greater uncertainty on requirements ever than before. Projects that embrace Agile are able to adapt faster, deliver little and often yet remaining business and customer focused. Based on the proven DSDM Agile Project Framework (AgilePF), the Agile Project Manager (AgilePM) manages Agile Projects in organizations requiring standards, rigour and visibility around Project Management, while at the same time enabling the fast pace, change and empowerment provided by Agile. The AgilePM balances robust governance with a collaborative culture that inspires innovation and improves competitive advantage. AgilePM is the world’s leading certification in Agile Project Management, developed by the Agile Business Consortium and accredited by the examination institute APMG International. This course covers the certification examination for Foundation. Delegates who have attended the course are eligible for 21 PMI PDUs. This course is provided in partnership with Sapience Consulting Pte. Ltd.
