PMP 0410 - Agile Project Management
Overview
Increasingly competitive markets, shorter product delivery cycles, increasingly complicated business problems, and globalization demand that project managers deliver value faster and cheaper. Agile projects avoid many of the pitfalls associated with traditional methodologies without sacrificing quality. Agile has become increasingly more popular because it addresses these challenges.
Through lectures, exercises, and a case study, this course teaches the participant how to use the principles and practices of Agile project life-cycle management to successfully deliver high-risk, high-value projects.
