The Agile Management methodology emphasizes a highly flexible and iterative process for determining project requirements. Agile environments tend to be fast paced and highly collaborative. Graduates will be able to demonstrate to employers that they can appropriately apply Agile techniques to a given project.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Define the key terms associated with Agile Project Management
- Decide if your organization is ready to manage projects differently from previous projects
- Determine whether your customers will be active participants on a daily basis
- Identify any shortcomings your global team may have
- Demonstrate to employers the level of professionalism in Agile Project Management Practices
- Increase the Project Management versatility in Project Management tools and techniques
