Course description
Agile Project Management
Want to improve the success rate of your projects? While some organizations using Agile development do not use the title of ‘Project Manager’ and put a strong emphasis on self-organizing teams, Agile project management skills are key to working more cohesively, communicating more effectively with stakeholders, and supporting the team with an appropriate level and combination of leadership and guidance, coordination and facilitation.
Our Agile Project Management course will help you learn the skills, techniques, and mindset needed to manage projects using an Agile approach. You will learn how to collaborate with stakeholders and support self-organizing teams in continuously adjusting and refining their efforts to increase efficiency and effectiveness.
This course can also be offered virtually. Contact SoftEd to learn more about delivery options.
