Agility in managing projects is becoming a critical need in an increasingly pressured workplace. Effective focus, collaboration and communication, adaptability and change, control and empowerment, and sound risk management and governance, are key themes in successfully delivering an agile and flexible project.

Delegates will receive a grounding in the Agile Project Management Framework, centred around the 5Ps of project management: principles, people, processes, products and practices. This course will also provide an overview of the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) tools and techniques, taking an evolutionary approach to developing organisational solutions.

This is week two of The Agile People and Project Manager Toolkit.
