Purpose

Our Agile Project Management Techniques training course fills a gap in project management training curriculums: it helps adapting popular frameworks to create or maintain organization-specific implementations of agile project management. Instead of theory and exam preparation, the focus is on the application of the various techniques. Participants work on their real-life case studies, immediately putting theory into practice. In most of the time they are involved in role-play or group exercises with reviews and retrospectives, continually practicing agile behaviors. For written exercises, participants are provided with a workbook with templates. The course also helps in applying PRINCE2 Agile, PMI Agile Practice Guide, Scrum or any other framework by connecting theoretical knowledge and adapting best practices to create or improve company specific techniques, behaviors and activities.

Our customized training courses are adapted to the requirements of our customers to fulfill previously defined and agreed learning objectives. They consist of candidate or manager interviews, pre-reading, short theoretical modules followed by practical assignments and group exercises. There are follow-up sessions a few months after the classroom session. Though the content of some courses is linked to internationally recognized best practice frameworks like PMBOK, ITIL©, M_o_R© or PRINCE2©, it is not a prerequisite to hold any of these certificates and these courses are not intended to prepare to these exams. They rather focus on the behaviors and techniques of applying knowledge, skills or best practice frameworks in practice.
