Overview
There is increasing pressure on organisations to deliver working solutions to business problems and opportunities in ever-shorter timescales without compromising quality. The process by which solutions are developed must be agile and deliver what the business needs when it needs it, but at the same time the focus for the organisation must remain on the successful delivery of projects, not just ‘going Agile’.
Most of the Agile methods provide little or no guidance on how to manage a project in an Agile way. Indeed for some Agile approaches, the whole concept of a ‘project’ and ‘project management’ is seen as anti-Agile!
DSDM is an exception – it has always worked from the base of a project and a lifecycle, and has successfully merged the concepts of corporate constraints and process with Agile management and delivery.
This training is a mixture of input and practical sessions, using various teaching methods, delivered by an APM Group approved trainer. All trainers have practical experience of delivering projects using the Agile management method. Practical sessions are on an individual and team basis and feature throughout the events.
