For those working in Software Development Agile Project Management skills are becoming more and more important as organisation demand more and more rapid and lean software delivery. Here are 5 good reasons why Agile Project Management has become an important standard:

  • It boosts speed-to-market – Agile management is all about early and regular software releases
  • It allows for quality risk management – Focusing on incremental releases that are made visible to the product team during the development process, agile management opens up opportunities for quickly responding to potential market risks
  • It helps to quickly respond to industry changes – Traditional project management strategies often fail to incorporate changes that would ensure client satisfaction. Agile management allows for implementing such alterations with no extra time spent on them
  • It offers a team approach to projects
  • It’s flexible– As expected, the essence of agile management technique is its inherent flexibility

Simon asked:

What is the difference between this Agile qualification and Prince2?

Answer:

Hi Simon PRINCE2 is a methodology for managing projects consisting of themes and processes, whereas Agile is a way of carrying out project work focusing on product delivery. Agile is not in itself a methodology, but a way of thinking from which several methodologies have arisen, including Kanban, Scrum and Lean. Please note that there is also PRINCE2 Agile which has arisen recently that combines the 2. If you need any further information more then please let me know Natalie

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
