Why Agile?

Businesses all over the world are realising the benefits of adopting an Agile culture within their organisations. Agile Project Management methodologies can speed up the development process, bring products to market quicker, increase customer satisfaction, improve communication between teams and reduce risk and spend to a business. A certified Agile Project Manager will have the right skills, mindset and behaviours to achieve great results and can be a huge asset to any business. Individuals who work in Agile companies report better job satisfaction and project success thanks to this positive and proven approach.

Does Agile Project Management work for all companies?

Absolutely. First and foremost, Agile as a concept refers to ‘ways of working’ that include certain behavioural and mindset changes to enable it to succeed. Technology is a basic enabler of Agile ways of working and Open Source software allows for sharing between teams and stakeholders. The process of project management in an Agile organisation is all about openness, a test and learn approach and a strong focus on customer feedback. So these ‘ways of working’ can be applied to any business within any industry.

It’s also worth keeping in mind that any individual can adopt Agile Project Management methodologies, even if they don’t work in an Agile company. This is why an AgilePM certification is suitable and useful for anyone.

Why do I need an AgilePM Certification?

For individuals, an AgilePM certification can enhance your career path and provide significant opportunities for progression. It shows that you’re a qualified expert in your field and can improve your chances of being recruited into an Agile organisation too.

Businesses can benefit by providing an AgilePM certification as an option for employees to aid retention of staff and development of skills. More qualified Project Managers breed better results, so an investment in an AgilePM training course can lead to better outcomes for your business.
