The Facts

  • Agile is currently the preferred delivery option in technology projects and environments across the world. Yet Agile is not only for IT!
  • Agile will allow you to deliver projects, products, and apps quickly and often.
  • Agile is the global trend. More and more people want to learn Agile every day in the world.
  • Agile is not perfect and it won't solve all your problems. But it will give you a different view and approach to managing them.
  • Agile is not suitable for all projects but it is for many.
  • Knowing Agile will allow you to land more jobs and this Agile course will help you prepare.
  • This course has an engaging conversational style and includes useful examples, images, and explanations.
  • The course is simple and very informative, as well as affordable!
  • You will love the practical examples and scenarios that I have prepared just for you.

What are the advantages of Agile Project Management?

  • In Agile Project Management you deliver projects faster.
  • Agile Project Management fosters an environment of constant collaboration, teamwork, and focus on execution.
  • In Agile Project Management, you have direct input from your customer throughout the whole project.
  • Agile Project Management shifts from traditional long documentation processes and long meetings to agile, lean processes, practices, and rituals such as the daily standup.
  • In Agile Project Management, roles blur, meaning everyone can participate in different tasks regardless of whether it's their "official" role or not. For example, not only testers test but others, too (if the team decides that).
  • Agile Project Management allows you to focus on value and the minimum required working solution known as the MVP (Minimum Viable Product). So you apply a basic/yet really important concept all the time: keep it simple!!! Don't build a Ferrari if all you need is a skateboard!
  • Visual boards (Kanbans) and reports are a key part of Agile Project Management. It allows everyone to stay on the same page and be able to understand the speed of execution, areas of improvement, and more.
