Overview
Managing and Adapting Projects in a World of Continuous Change.
Agile Project Management has become the go-to approach for managing projects in an evolving modern work environment. Adopting an iterative development framework sets itself apart from traditional waterfall methods. Although this approach may suit specific organisational cultures, workflows and hierarchies, it can work exceptionally well in flat structure management styles and adaptive environments.
Agile is especially well-suited for complex and dynamic projects, as it encourages adaptability, reduces risk and fosters a collaborative environment. However, its success depends on the active involvement and commitment of the team and stakeholders. The tools and processes in an Agile model are far more flexible to individual workflows, collaboration and feedback improvements and don’t require comprehensive documentation. This can be useful in creating better client support models that adapt more quickly to change to project objectives.
Agile Project Management – Advanced is a two-day program that builds on our one-day Core fundamentals program and develops the participant’s knowledge and skills with additional Agile disciplines. This workshop is a hands-on training session full of exercises and activities to help participants comprehend and apply Agile concepts and processes. It is relevant for those looking to manage simple or complex projects and for adaptable strategies to customise to their unique organisational situation.
This advanced program can also be customised to integrate Agile practices with traditional project management methods to form hybrid models. This can be a valuable approach to adapt to work in all organisational frameworks and hierarchies.
