Managing Agile Projects Eğitimi

QA recommends that delegates hold a recent Agile Project Management or PRINCE2 practitioner certificate before attending the course.

Bu eğitim, mevcut Proje Yönetimi bilgisini ve ortamını geliştirmek için Agile tekniklerini kullanmak isteyen herkes içindir.

• Understand the basic concepts of common Agile ways of working
• Understand the purpose and context for combining Project Management and the Agile philosophical way of working
• Be able to fix and flex the six aspects of a project in an Agile context
• To learn through the use of theory, discussion and practical exercises how to deliver projects on-time and on-budget

This course uses a combination of theory, discussion and practical exercises to ensure delegates feel confident in the application of the concepts. The initial mandate for the project will be developed into a project plan. This plan will be used to control the project from feasibility through to closure, using Agile techniques to deliver the project on-time, on-budget.
