Who is this for?
Current agile teams and practitioners
Unemployed project managers
Aspiring project managers
This course will equip you with the terminology within the DSDM Agile Project Framework You’ll learn some well-known agile techniques such as time-boxing, iterative development, MoSCoW and facilitated workshops. Taking this course will enable you to go back to work with an understanding of what’s been previously been missing from your agile projects and what you can do to fill in the missing link.
If you’re an experienced project manager and are in between jobs, you can benefit from this course. An Agile Foundation qualification on your CV alongside previous project management experience shows employers that you understand agile terminology and the DSDM approach to agile project governance, and that you have taken the steps to re-skill and learn increasingly important agile methods.
You will find that many project management jobs now require knowledge of agile. Agile methods are becoming more common, not only in the software and IT industries, but also in creative and marketing industries. However, gaining the full Practitioner certification is recommended for career starters because it shows employers that you can apply the agile Project Management guidance on agile projects.
“I had enough experience, but I never heard back
from any interviews.”
“I wanted to work in project managementbut had no relevant
experience.”
Why this course?
With this qualification you will gain sufficient knowledge and understanding of the Agile Project Management Foundation guidance to be able to recognise and distinguish between the key elements of the approach. The Foundation qualification is also a pre-requisite for the Practitioner qualification.
By passing the Agile Project Management Foundation exam you will be showing employers that you understand the key principles and terminology within the Agile Project Management Foundation guidance.
“I was taking on more project work
and needed to learn how to manage it.”
