Agile approaches such as eXtreme Programming, Scrum and Lean Software Development are becoming increasingly mainstream. They describe how to successfully deliver in complex situations when requirements and possible solutions are subject to continuous change; but they stop short of describing a full project lifecycle with defined Phases, Work Products, Roles and Responsibilities. This course covers how to operate in such an agile fashion within an overall project framework and is based on the DSDM Agile Project Framework (DSDM APF) approach. Through practical experience of the agile style of working, case studies and example scenarios from a highly experienced trainer, it provides delegates with an understanding of how the Agile Project Management process can enable planning, management and control for predictable Agile project deliveries.
Destinatários
The course is aimed at Project Managers and others involved in Project Management who want to understand how to apply agile approaches within an overall project management lifecycle framework.
Objetivos

Pré-requisitos
Familiarity with project work, either as a project manager or as another role on a project – this course is not designed to teach people how to be a project manager, it is intended to provide an agile framework to those who already have some basic project experience.
It is not necessary to have prior agile experience (for example, Scrum) – but delegates are encouraged to visit the DSDM Consortium’s website and start to become familiar with the framework, at www.agilebusiness.org.
