Agile Project Management Training Courses & Consultancy
Agile is a process in which a team can manage a project by breaking it up into several stages and test each release against customers’ needs. The Agile methodology begins with clients describing how the end product will be used and what problem it will solve. This clarifies the customer’s expectations to the project team. Once the work begins, teams cycle through a process of planning, executing, and evaluating — which might just change the final deliverable to fit the customer’s needs better. Continuous collaboration is key, both among team members and with project stakeholders, to make fully-informed decisions. Programme content includes:
