AgilePgM®

introduction

Description of the course:

Agile’s influence on project, programme and change management continues to rise at pace. The practice of programme management supports organizations through significant transformation and business change. AgilePgM training and certification is based on the Agile Programme Management (AgilePgM) Handbook, published by the Agile Business Consortium. The guidance provides programme managers (and others involved with major business change initiatives) with a disciplined but flexible approach to the management of transformational organizational change, allowing for iterative and incremental delivery of outputs and benefits. AgilePgM does not attempt to redefine the fundamentals of programme management, and assumes some knowledge of a programme management method. It builds on that knowledge to show how those involved in programmes may need to think, act and react differently in an agile environment.
