This two-week programme combines:
The Agile Manager 05 days
The Agile Project Manager (APMG AgilePM® Certificate) 05 days
To be successful in today’s organisation, you must be able to adapt and respond quickly to the changing needs and wants of your team and deliver projects in an agile way. Flexibility, compassion and agility are key attributes of an effective manager. On the other hand, focus, adaptability, collaboration, communication, control, empowerment, risk management and governance are all key themes of a modern-day project.
This programme will help you to balance these demands and become a more successful 21st century manager. In week one, delegates will cover the skills and attributes needed to develop high performing teams and individuals. The second week will focus on the principles, people, processes, products and practices of the Agile Project Management Framework, and the tools and techniques of the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM).
