This course provides experienced project managers with advanced understanding of:
· The agile philosophy, including overviews of scrum development, lean development, feature-driven development and extreme programing
· The principles and techniques of disciplined, structured agile project management (including agile estimating and planning, documentation, agile metrics and forecasting, and agile quality management)
· How to identify situations where agile techniques may add value
· How to negotiate with Stakeholders
· How to begin applying the techniques to reduce overall project risk on high change projects
Although there is no formal pre-requisite for this course, participants should have some training or experience in project management. This course does not teach the fundamentals of project management; rather, it explains how agile practices are different from more conventional practices -- it does not teach the conventional practices. For those with no prior project management knowledge or experience, the Project Management Essentials course provides suitable preparatory training.
