Much has been said about running agile projects. However, most courses talk about the development approach to agile projects and not so much on the management approach.

Based completely on PMI’s Agile Practice Guide and with references to the PMBOK® Guide – 6th Edition, you are guaranteed to come off this training fully equipped to manage any type of agile project for any type of industry. Learn today and lead tomorrow.
